Hydrogen(Knowing+the+Elements)

=Hydrogen=

==The element I am learning about is hydrogen, it's symbol is a capitalized letter H. It is located in the first column of the periodic table and is in the family of the alkali metals it also in the very first period and first group. As for its atomic number and mass they are both one. It's atomic weight is a different story it is 1.00794 (1.008). Hydrogen has been around since the beginning of the universe. It was created when the universe was born because of the hot and dense conditions. Hydrogen has 1 proton, 0 neutrons (non - isotope) and 1 electron. Since it only has one electron it only has one electron in the outer shell hence why it is located in the 1st column of the periodic table. It is a very reactive non-metal and when it is burned it produces water,when reacting with nitrogen it creates ammonia.==
