On these concepts, Pauling developed hybridization theory to account for bonds in molecules such as CH 4, in which four sp³ hybridised orbitals are overlapped by hydrogen's 1s orbital, yielding four sigma (σ) bonds. The four bonds are of the same length and strength, which yields a molecular structure as shown below:
Consequently, hydrogen bonds between or within solute molecules dissolved in water are almost always unfavorable relative to hydrogen bonds between water and the donors and acceptors for hydrogen bonds on those solutes. [44] Hydrogen bonds between water molecules have an average lifetime of 10 −11 seconds, or 10 picoseconds. [45]
Maurice Loyal Huggins (September 19, 1897, Berkeley County, West Virginia – December 17, 1981) was a scientist who independently conceived the idea of hydrogen bonding and who was an early advocate for their role in stabilizing protein secondary structure.
1625 – First description of hydrogen by Johann Baptista van Helmont. First to use the word "gas". 1650 – Turquet de Mayerne obtains a gas or "inflammable air" by the action of dilute sulphuric acid on iron. 1662 – Boyle's law (gas law relating pressure and volume). 1670 – Robert Boyle produces hydrogen by reacting metals with acid.

Hydrogen can be produced when there is a surplus of variable renewable electricity, then stored and used to generate heat or to re-generate electricity. [136] Hydrogen created through electrolysis using renewable energy is commonly referred to as "green hydrogen". [137] It can be further transformed into synthetic fuels such as ammonia and ...
Astronomers using the Gaia space telescope have located two ancient streams of stars that helped the Milky Way galaxy grow and evolve more than 12 billion years ago.
The simplest of molecules is the hydrogen molecule-ion, H 2 +, and the simplest of all the chemical bonds is the one-electron bond. H 2 + is composed of two positively charged protons and one negatively charged electron , which means that the Schrödinger equation for the system can be solved more easily due to the lack of electron–electron ...
