1

The lightest chemical element (symbol H), with an atomic number of 1 and atomic weight of 1.008.

Our professor then reminded us that a hydrogen ion is merely a proton, and thus we should think about acid-base theory as we consider this problem further.

The ignis fatuus or Jack a lantern, ſo frequently alluded to by poets, is ſuppoſed to originate from the inflammable air, or Hydrogene, given up from moraſſes; […]

2

The lightest chemical element (symbol H), with an atomic number of 1 and atomic weight of 1.008.

Each carbon of the ring has one hydrogen attached except for the fourth one, which is bonded to a substituent.

Water occupies an intermediate position and shows tendencies both to add and give up hydrogen, which are nearly balanced. Then, in terms of the Lewis theory, a free pair of electrons on one water molecule might be able to exert sufficient force on a hydrogen held by a pair of electrons on another water molecule to bind the two molecules together.

3

Molecular hydrogen (sense 1; symbol H₂), a colourless, odourless and flammable gas at room temperature.

A large tank of hydrogen constituted most of the bulk of that rocket.

[Jacques] Charles was the first to send up a hydrogen balloon, 12 feet in diameter, which rose 3,123 feet, disappeared in the clouds, and fell at the distance of 15 miles.

4

Molecular hydrogen (sense 1; symbol H₂), a colourless, odourless and flammable gas at room temperature.

5

Synonym of protium (“the lightest and most common isotope of hydrogen (sense 1; symbol H, ¹H, or 11H), as contrasted with deuterium and tritium”).

Both hydrogen and deuterium are present in every glass of water that you drink, but the amount of deuterium is rather small.

Hydrogen is generally considered to be electronically the same as deuterium. […] Neutron diffraction experiments by Ferguson, Schindler, Tanaka, and Morita (ref. 4) revealed that, near 50K, some hydrogen had moved from interstitial octahedral sites (0, 0, 1/2; 1/2, 0, 0; …) of the palladium lattice to the tetrahedral sites (1/4, 1/4, 1/4; 3/4, 3/4; …) (O-T transitions).
