The name "hydrogen" comes from the Greek words "hydro" meaning water and "genes" meaning forming. This is because hydrogen, when burned, combines with oxygen in the air to form water.

Can hyrogen change to another state?

Yes. (Assuming hyrogen is actually Hydrogen) All elements which can be found on a current periodic table could theoretically be in any of the 4 states. Some states are not very attainable at STP here on Earth, however the majority of elements in the universe (out in space) are not solid, liquid or gas, but believed to be plasma. For example solid or liquid Hydrogen is not easily obtained in the laboratory, but hydrogen in the form of gas and plasma is fairly easy to find or make. Our Sun is another good example of a place where hydrogen can be found as a gas or in a plasma.


How many electrons in hyrogen -3?

Since hydrogen only has an atomic number of one, there is one proton in the nucleus, therefore the nucleus has a +1 charge, for the overall charge to be -3, there must be four electrons: +1 + (4 x (-1)) = -3.


There is less hyrogen in the universe today then here was 10 billion years ago?

It seems likely, since hydrogen is being continually fused into helium, and all sorts of stuff continually fall into black holes. However, there is no way to actually measure what's going on beyond our solar system. There are some interesting speculations about what may be going on in the intergalactic void. Sometimes we don't know the answers to interesting questions.
