It depends on the circumstances. Hydrogen will burn in air, to be sure. It will make a pop sound producing a blue flame and forming water when ignited in a test tube. But in the case of the Hindenburg, it just burned with extreme rapidity. Hydrogen mixed with air or oxygen is explosive, but will not explode in "bulk" form.

What happens to hydrogen when it explodes?

When hydrogen explodes, it rapidly combines with oxygen to form water vapor. This reaction releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and light. The explosion can be powerful and destructive, especially in enclosed spaces where the pressure can build up quickly.

If a balloon filled with hydrogen gas explodes upon contact with a spark a chemical or physical change?

The explosion of a balloon filled with hydrogen gas upon contact with a spark is a chemical change. This is because the hydrogen gas (H₂) reacts with oxygen (O₂) in the air to form water (H₂O) and release energy in the form of an explosion.


When hydrogen and water are combine to form water?

Hydrogen and oxygen (H2O) form water. So there is one Hydrogen atom and 2 Oxygen atoms to make a water molecule.

Can water form hydrogen bonds form with itself?

Yes, water can form hydrogen bonds with itself. Each water molecule can form hydrogen bonds with up to four neighboring water molecules, resulting in a network of hydrogen-bonded water molecules, which gives water its unique properties like high surface tension and cohesion.


Does hydrogen react with water or acid?

Hydrogen does not react with water. In an acid, hydrogen can react to form hydrogen gas and a salt.
