What is hydrogen?
Hydrogen is a chemical element with chemical symbol H and atomic number 1. With an atomic mass of 1.00794, hydrogen is the lightest element on the periodic table. Its monatomic form (H) is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of all baryonic mass. Non-remnant stars are mainly composed of hydrogen in its plasma state. The most common isotope of hydrogen, termed protium (name rarely used, symbol 1 H), has a single proton and a single electron and zero neutrons

where can hydrogen be found
Hydrogen is found in large amounts in giant gas planets and stars, it plays a key role in powering stars through fusion reactions.
Hydrogen is one of two important elements found in water (H2O). Each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom
