Named by Lavoisier, hydrogen is the most abundant of all elements in the universe. The heavier elements were originally made from Hydrogen or from other elements that were originally made from Hydrogen. Sources Hydrogen is estimated to make up more than 90% of all the atoms or three quarters of the mass of the universe. This element is found in the stars, and plays an important part in powering the universe through both the proton-proton reaction and carbon-nitrogen cycle -- stellar hydrogen fusion processes that release massive amounts of energy by combining Hydrogen to form Helium. Production of hydrogen in the U.S. alone now amounts to about 3 billion cubic feet per year. Hydrogen is prepared by ● steam on heated carbon, ● decomposition of certain hydrocarbons with heat, ● action of sodium or potassium hydroxide on aluminum ● electrolysis of water, or ● displacement from acids by certain metals. Liquid hydrogen is important in cryogenics and in the study of superconductivity, as its melting point is http://periodic.lanl.gov/elements/1.html (1 of 3) [10/24/2001 5:40:03 PM] Hydrogen only 20 degrees above absolute zero. Tritium is readily produced in nuclear reactors and is used in the production of the hydrogen bomb. Hydrogen is the primary component of Jupiter and the other gas giant planets. At some depth in the planet's interior the pressure is so great that solid molecular hydrogen is converted to solid metallic hydrogen. In 1973, a group of Russian experimenters may have produced metallic hydrogen at a pressure of 2.8 Mbar. At the transition the density changed from 1.08 to 1.3 g/cm3. Earlier, in 1972, at Livermore, California, a group also reported on a similar experiment in which they observed a pressure-volume point centered at 2 Mbar. Predictions say that metallic hydrogen may be metastable; others have predicted it would be a superconductor at room temperature. Compounds Although pure Hydrogen is a gas we find very little of it in our atmosphere. Hydrogen gas is so light that uncombined Hydrogen will gain enough velocity from collisions with other gases that they will quickly be ejected from the atmosphere. On earth, hydrogen occurs chiefly in combination with oxygen in water, but it is also present in organic matter such as living plants, petroleum, coal, etc. It is present as the free element in the atmosphere, but only to the extent of less than 1 ppm by volume. The lightest of all gases, hydrogen combines with other elements -- sometimes explosively -- to form compounds. Uses Great quantities are required commercially for the fixation of nitrogen from the air in the Haber ammonia process and for the hydrogenation of fats and oils. It is also used in large quantities in methanol production, in hydrodealkylation, hydrocracking, and hydrodesulfurization. Other uses include rocket fuel, welding, producing hydrochloric acid, reducing metallic ores, and filling balloons. The lifting power of 1 cubic foot of hydrogen gas is about 0.07 lb at 0C, 760 mm pressure. The Hydrogen Fuel cell is a developing technology that will allow great amounts of electrical power to be obtained using a source of hyrogen gas. Consideration is being given to an entire economy based on solar- and nuclear-generated hydrogen. Public acceptance, high capital investment, and the high cost of hydrogen with respect to today's fuels are but a few of the problems facing such an economy. Located in remote regions, power plants would electrolyze seawater; the hydrogen produced would travel to distant cities by pipelines. Pollution-free hydrogen could replace natural gas, gasoline, etc., and could serve as a reducing agent in metallurgy, http://periodic.lanl.gov/elements/1.html (2 of 3) [10/24/2001 5:40:03 PM] Hydrogen chemical processing, refining, etc. It could also be used to convert trash into methane and ethylene. Forms Quite apart from isotopes, it has been shown that under ordinary conditions hydrogen gas is a mixture of two kinds of molecules, known as ortho- and para-hydrogen, which differ from one another by the spins of their electrons and nuclei. Normal hydrogen at room temperature contains 25% of the para form and 75% of the ortho form. The ortho form cannot be prepared in the pure state. Since the two forms differ in energy, the physical properties also differ. The melting and boiling points of parahydrogen are about 0.1oC lower than those of normal hydrogen. Isotopes The ordinary isotope of hydrogen, H, is known as Protium, the other two isotopes are Deuterium (a proton and a neutron) and Tritium (a protron and two neutrons). Hydrogen is the only element whose isotopes have been given different names. Deuterium and Tritium are both used as fuel in nuclear fusion reactors. One atom of Deuterium is found in about 6000 ordinary hydrogen atoms. Deuterium is used as a moderator to slow down neutrons. Tritium atoms are also present but in much smaller proportions. Tritium is readily produced in nuclear reactors and is used in the production of the hydrogen (fusion) bomb. It is also used as a radioactive agent in making luminous paints, and as a tracer.

    LIGHT METAL BOROHYDRIDES AND Mg-BASED HYDRIDES FOR HYDROGEN STORAGE by SHENG GUO A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Metallurgy and Materials College of Engineering and Physical Sciences University of Birmingham December 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Synopsis This work has investigated structural and compositional changes in LiBH4, Mg(BH4)2, Ca(BH4)2, LiBH4-Ca(BH4)2 during heating. The crystal and vibrational structures of these borohydrides/composites were characterized using lab-based X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy, with particular attention to the frequency/width changes of Raman vibrations of different polymorphs of borohydrides. The thermal stability and decomposition pathway of the borohydrides was studied in great detail mainly using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), in/ex situ XRD and Raman measurements, whilst the gaseous products during heating were monitored using a mass spectrometry (MS). Hydrogen is the main decomposition gaseous product from all of these compounds, but in some cases a very small amount of diborane release was also detected.

  • Group 18 - the Elements
    Group 18 - The Elements ! All found in minute quantities in air. • Argon is most abundant (and cheapest), comprising 0.934% of air by volume. ! Although rare on earth, helium is the second most abundant element in the universe (H, 76%; He, 23%), being a major component of stars. ! All radon isotopes are short-lived and are continuously being produced by natural decay processes. 222 • Longest lived isotope is Rn (á, t½ = 3.825 days). ! Condensed phases are held together by van der Waals forces, which increase smoothly down the group. Element b.p.

Helium is found in certain natural gas deposits (e.g., in Kansas), where it probably forms as a result of radioactive decay in the rocks. ! Because of its low boiling point, it is used widely in cryogenic applications. • Also used in airships (e.g., Goodyear blimp) and as a balloon filler. • Used as a fill gas for deep diving, because it is less soluble in blood than nitrogen, thus avoiding the "bends." ! The 4He isotope has the lowest know boiling point, 4.12 K, at which point it is called He-I. • On cooling to 2.178 K a phase transition to He-II occurs. • He-II has an expanded volume, almost no viscosity, and is superconducting. • He-II can readily flow uphill to equalize volumes in adjacent vessels. • It cannot be stored in glass Dewars, because it leaks through glass into the evacuated space, posing an explosion risk.

The first inert gas was isolated in of valency in 1916. Despite this, many 1895 by Ramsay and Rayleigh; it was named people felt that it should be possible to induce argon (apy6s, inert) and occurs to the extent the inert gases to form compounds, and many of 0·93% in the earth's atmosphere. The of the early experiments directed to this end other gases were all isolated before the turn have recently been reviewed.l of the century and were named neon (v€ov, There were several reasons why chemists new), krypton (KpVn'TOV, hidden), xenon believed that the inert gases might form ~€vov, stmnger) and radon (radioactive chemical compounds under the correct con­ emanation). Though they occur much less ditions. For example, the ionization poten­ abundantly than argon they cannot strictly tial of xenon is actually lower than those of be called rare gases; this can be illustrated hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fl uorine and by calculating the volumes occupied a.t s.t.p.
