At standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen (H2) is a colorless, odorless, nonmetallic, tasteless, highly flammable diatomic gas.

It is used to make ammonia for fertilizers, refining metals, and methanol for making artificial materials like plastics. Hydrogen (H2) is also used as a rocket fuel where liquid hydrogen is combined with liquid oxygen (LOX) to produce a powerful explosion.
