Atomic Number of Hydrogen (+ facts: Uses, Color and more...) 2022

Every atom has an atomic number, even Hydrogen. But what is an "Atomic Number"?

The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom of that element.

Ok so I'll take you through some interesting facts and data about Hydrogen (That most people don't know).

Hydrogen Overview

Atomic Number

Atomic Symbol

H (Hydrogen)

Description

Tasteless, colorless, odorless gas. The most abundant element in the universe. Tenth most abundant element in the earth's crust.

State at 20 °C

Gas

Sources

Commercial quantities are produced by reacting superheated steam with methane or carbon. In lab work from reaction of metals with acid solutions or electrolysis.

Uses

Most hydrogen is used in the production of ammonia. Also used in balloons and in metal refining. Also used as fuel in rockets. Its two heavier isotopes are: deuterium (D) and tritium (T) used respectively for nuclear fission and fusion.
