Introduction to Hydrogen
In this section let me help you on properties of hydrogen.In 1766,an English scientist,Henry Cavendish,was able to produce it in pure state by the action of acids on certain metals.He also established it to be a distinct substance and called it inflammable air because of its combustible nature.Its name hydrogen was proposed by Lavoisier because it produces water when burnt in oxygen.Hydrogen means water producer.
Position of hydrogen in the periodic table:
Hydrogen is the first element in the periodic table having atomic number one.It has one electron in the K shell and has electronic configuration 1s1.It is difficult to give a proper place to hydrogen in the periodic table because of its resemblance to halogens as well as alkali metals.This can also help us on Linear Equation in two variables
Occurrence of Hydrogen:
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in universe.About half the mass of the sun and stars is accounted for by hydrogen.On earth,it occurs in the free state in small traces in volcanic and natural gases.However,in combined state,it is widely distributed as water.It is also an important constituent of organic compounds present in petroleum,animal and vegetable matter.
Isotopes of hydrogen:
It has been found that hydrogen has three isotopes namely:protium,deuterium and tritium.The relative abundances are as follows:Protium:Deuterium:Tritium= 1:1.5x10-2:1x10-17
