ago hydrogen was formed, along with helium, in the Big Bang and this lightest element still makes up 75% of the mass of the Universe.

Hydrogen is extremely combustible and produces water when it burns. Its name derives from the Greek hydro, meaning water, and genos, indicating birth.

In its basic form, an atom of hydrogen - the lightest of all the chemical elements - contains one proton and one electron and has an atomic weight of 1.00794.
