Move the main image to the phase section and replace it with a new one.
[edit]The current main image is hydrogen in its plasma state, but it would make more sense to move that to Hydrogen#Phases. Then replace it with a new better image. Bennett27 (talk) 01:54, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
Infrastructure
[edit]I would welcome your thoughts at Talk:Hydrogen infrastructure#Merge sub-topics into here Chidgk1 (talk) 18:00, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
Move discussion in progress
[edit]There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Hydrogen economy which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 07:33, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Inaccurate to say hydrogen is "explosive" at 4% to 74% in air. This is its flammability range.
[edit]Hydrogen's explosivity is listed here as 4% to 74% in air. It's more accurate to say its limit of detonability is 18% to 59%. See, for example, https://www1.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/pdfs/h2_safety_fsheet.pdf, or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_safety "inerting and purging
This should be amended in the first paragraphs of the "properties" section. Saying it is explosive at 4% gives a false impression about its risks, and feeds into a common misconception that flammability limit = detonation limit. Indeed, citation [21] refers to flammability range, and does not appear to mention explosive mixtures.51.194.9.191 (talk) 13:33, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Mention the routes of the word Hydrogen
[edit]Mention the routes of the word hydrogen (Hydro) from Ancient Greek: ὕδωρ, romanized: hýdōr, lit. 'water' (water) as well what caused the discoverer came up with the respective name reference (Gen) from Ancient Greek: γένος, 'birth' (meaning formation) Clearly showing the processes and reasoning of the making of the word (Water being composed of Hydrogen and Oxygen) Athan Kokkinos (talk) 04:36, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
