Hydrogen: Hope for a new energy technology revolution?
Two hydrogens can form a diatomic molecule H2, which exists in gaseous form at room temperature and is therefore referred to as hydrogen. Hydrogen molecules are composed of covalent bonds, and the modern theory of covalent bonds begins with quantum mechanical studies of hydrogen molecules. Hydrogen is a clean energy source that combines with oxygen to release a lot of heat. At the same quality, the heat released by hydrogen combustion is more than four times that of coal, and its reaction product is water, which is harmless to the environment...
