Why Hydrogen is so important?
Hydrogen is the lightest of all gases. ✅ (Correct – Hydrogen is the lightest element and gas.)Hydrogen can be found in water. ✅ (Correct – Water (H₂O) contains hydrogen.)Hydrogen is not a greenhouse gas. ✅ (Correct – Molecular hydrogen (H₂) does not trap heat like CO₂ or CH₄.)Hydrogen is odorless. ✅ (Correct – Hydrogen has no smell.)Hydrogen is non-toxic. ✅ (Correct – Hydrogen itself is not toxic.)Hydrogen may be naturally produced underground. ✅ (Correct – Natural hydrogen deposits exist, and geological processes can produce it underground.)Hydrogen can be made from fossil fuels. ✅ (Correct – Hydrogen is often produced from natural gas via steam methane reforming.)Hydrogen can be stored as a gas or in liquid form. ✅ (Correct – Hydrogen can be stored as compressed gas or cryogenic liquid.)Hydrogen can be used to generate electricity. ✅ (Correct – Hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity through electrochemical reactions.)Hydrogen is used in the production of ammonia for fertilizers. ✅ (Correct – The Haber process uses hydrogen to make ammonia (NH₃) for fertilizers.)
Hydrogen and helium
- Hydrogen makes up about 92% of the sun's mass, while helium makes up about 8%.
- Hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in the sun.
- The hydrogen and helium in the sun are in a plasma state due to the high temperatures and pressures.
Other elements
- The sun also contains small amounts of oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, neon, iron, silicon, magnesium, and sulfur.
- These heavier elements play an important role in the sun's physical processes.
Helium's name
- Helium is named after Helios, the Greek Titan of the sun.
- Helium is the second simplest atom to model in quantum mechanics.
