Hydrogen is a chemical element with the symbol H and the atomic number 1. Hydrogen is the lightest element in the periodic table.
Explanation:
- In 1671, Robert Boyle discovered and described the reaction of iron filings with dilute acids, which results in the production of hydrogen gas. In 1766, Henry Cavendish was the first to identify hydrogen gas as a unique material, calling the gas created by a metal-acid reaction "inflammable air."
- In 1781, he found that "inflammable air" was the same as the mythological material "phlogiston," and that when gas is burned, it produces water. He is often credited with finding the element hydrogen. Antoine Lavoisier and Pierre Laplace named the element hydrogen after replicating Cavendish's discovery that water is produced when hydrogen is burned in 1783.
