Group Number Hydrogen (H) (& Color, Uses ... 2022

All atoms have a group name assigned, even Hydrogen. Ok but how do we know what is the group name for an atom of H?

If we know the symbol, let's say H, we may then open any periodic table and search for Hydrogen. Any decent periodic table should have the group numbers when you scroll up starting from the element you found.

In the case of Hydrogen the group number is 1. There is a lot of cool stuff about Hydrogen that people simply don't know. Why not stick around for a bit?

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.
