Hydrogen: The Most Abundant Element

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, accounting for roughly 75% of all matter. It is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas at room temperature. Hydrogen has the atomic number 1 and is the lightest element on the periodic table. It is also one of the most reactive elements, combining with many other elements to form compounds. Hydrogen can be used as a fuel source due to its high energy content when combusted with oxygen. Its uses range from powering vehicles to fueling rockets in space exploration.
