Can you light hydrogen with a match?

Answer by  sunflower249 (338)

If you could ever find pure hydrogen gas, then you could easily light it. It would explode, in fact. Hydrogen is extremely reactive, which is why pure hydrogen doesn't exist for more than an instant outside of a lab - the atoms will very quickly react with whatever other gases they come in contact with.

Yes, hydrogen is very flammable, both in liquid and gaseous form. The combustion of hydrogen is responsible for the Hindenburg disaster, and space shuttle rockets are fueled with liquid hydrogen.
