释义 | hydrogenn. Chemistry. a. One of the elements; a colourless, invisible, odourless gas; it burns with a pale-blue flame, whence its former name of inflammable air. It is the lightest substance known, having a specific gravity of about one-fourteenth of that of air. Symbol H; atomic weight 1.It occurs free in nature in small quantities in certain volcanic gases, and is an essential constituent of all animal and vegetable matter. It forms two-thirds in volume and one-ninth in weight of water (H2O), which is the sole product of the combustion of hydrogen in ordinary air. It is a constituent of all acids, in which it can be replaced by bases to form salts. antimoniuretted hydrogen, arseniuretted hydrogen, carburetted hydrogen, phosphoretted hydrogen, seleniuretted hydrogen, sulphuretted hydrogen, telluretted hydrogen, early names sometimes still used for gaseous combinations of hydrogen with antimony, arsenic, carbon, phosphorus, selenium, sulphur, tellurium.
