Hydrogen, Helium and Oxygen
🧪 1. Hydrogen (H)
🧠 Basic Info:
Symbol: H
Atomic number: 1
Color: Colorless
Gas: Yes
Flammable: 💥 YES – super explosive
Cool Facts:
It's the lightest element in the universe.
Makes up 75% of the universe’s mass.
Was made just after the Big Bang.
Used in stars – including the Sun – to create energy via nuclear fusion.
Uses:
Rocket fuel (mixed with oxygen).
Making ammonia (for fertilizers).
In hydrogen fuel cells (clean energy cars).
2. Helium (He)
Basic Info:
Symbol: He
Atomic number: 2
Color: Colorless
Gas: Yes
Flammable: ❌ Nope
Cool Facts:
Second lightest element.
Inert gas – doesn’t react with anything.
Found in space and stars.
You sound like a chipmunk after inhaling it – BUT DON’T TRY THAT. It’s dangerous!
Uses:
Filling balloons and airships (lighter than air).
Cooling superconductors & MRI machines.
Space tech – used to pressurize fuel tanks.
3. Oxygen (O)
Basic Info:
Symbol: O
Atomic number: 8
Color: Colorless
Gas: Yes
Flammable: ❌ But makes other things burn faster!
Cool Facts:
Makes up 21% of Earth’s air.
Needed by humans and animals to breathe.
Plants give us oxygen via photosynthesis.
In water (H₂O = 2 hydrogen + 1 oxygen).
Uses:
Breathing (oxygen tanks, hospitals).
Welding & cutting metals.
Rocket fuel oxidizer.
Making steel, plastics, and textiles.
