Hydrogen, symbol (H), is the lightest element as well as the most abundant in the universe. At the center of stars, hydrogen nuclei are fused together to form helium. This is fusion, this is what makes life possible.
Hydrogen is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Hydrogen is also VERY, highly, much combustible.
Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1 and an atomic mass of 1.008. Hydrogen is also lighter that air, even more so than helium. But look at how well helium works for big balloons, "Ahem, Hindenburg, Ahem" (Side note: The Hindenburg was a German airship that exploded while attempting to dock at the Navel Air Base Lakehurst. The Hindenburg had 97 people aboard of which 36 died.)
Hydrogen make up 75% of all baryonic mass in the universe and 0.0001% of the atmosphere.
If it were not for hydrogen's existence, you would not die, you just would not exist. Good Day.

Thanks for asking Anna, so to put it simply, Both Oxygen and Hydrogen are tasteless, colorless, and odorless and thus the taste of water is from the minerals among other things. That being said, studies do show that people say they can smell the difference between Oxygen and air. though I don't recommend you go inhaling water as an experiment.
I have a question. Hydrogen has no taste, does that mean that the taste in water from comes the oxygen? Or is it solely from the minerals in the water?
