It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and flammable gaseous substance. Moreover, hydrogen is the simplest and lightest element on the periodic table. In fact, hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1.00794 amu, making it the lightest known gas in the universe.
In addition to being the lightest, hydrogen is also thought to be the most abundant element, accounting for approximately 90% of the visible universe. With this in mind, hydrogen is used for a variety of functions, including electricity generation, fuel, and industrial processes, among others. However, an important distinction needs to be made.
