I tried to post this yesterday and every time the alignment got lost.
So I had to split it into manageable lengths by making it into 5 posts.
If you birthstone by month, by zodiac sign and by the hour of birth are
one and the same,then you MUST be a super-duper lucky person indeed! :thumb:

#1. Elementary facts about a few Elements.
The chemical symbol of hydrogen is H.
It is an element with atomic number 1.
So 1 proton is found in the nucleus of hydrogen.
Hydrogen is the lightest, simplest and most common element in the Universe.
It is making up around 75% of its elemental mass.
Hydrogen is found in large amounts in giant gas planets and stars.
It plays a key role in powering stars through fusion reactions.

#2. Elementary facts about a few Elements.
Hydrogen is one of two important elements found in water (H[SUB]2[/SUB]O).
Each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom.
In 1766, during an acid metal reaction, Henry Cavendish first formally recognized hydrogen.
In 1781 he also found that hydrogen produces water when burned.
While Cavendish is usually given credit for the discovery of hydrogen as an element,
it had been produced by earlier scientists who were unaware of hydrogen as a unique chemical element.

It wasn’t until a few years later (1783) that hydrogen was given its name.
The word hydrogen comes from the Greek word hydro (meaning water) and genes (meaning creator)
hydrogen gas has the molecular formula H[SUB]2[/SUB].
At room temperature and under standard pressure conditions,
hydrogen is a gas that is tasteless, odorless and colorless.

#4. Elementary facts about a few Elements.
Hydrogen can exist as a liquid under high pressure and an extremely low temperature of 20.13 kelvin
(−252.87°C, −423.17 °F). Hydrogen is often stored in this way as liquid hydrogen takes up less space than
hydrogen in its normal gas form. Liquid hydrogen is also used as a rocket fuel.

#5. Elementary facts about a few Elements.
Under extreme compression hydrogen can also make a transition to a state known as metallic hydrogen. Laboratory research into this area is ongoing as scientists continue efforts to produce metallic hydrogen at low temperature and static compression.
Hydrogen is used to power a range of new alternate fuel vehicles. The chemical energy of hydrogen is converted by a combustion method similar to current engines or in a fuel cell which produces water and electricity by reacting hydrogen with oxygen.
Engineers and car manufacturers are researching the possibility of using hydrogen gas as an efficient and viable car fuel. One of the possibilities involves storing hydrogen as a solid state in car fuel tanks. While there are many challenges involved in this process it would allow for greater hydrogen storage in vehicles, allowing them to travel for longer before refueling.

#6. Elementary facts about a few Elements.
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the molecular formula H[SUB]2[/SUB]O[SUB]2[/SUB]. It is often used as a hair bleach or cleaner. At certain concentrations it can also be used to clean wounds.
Hydrogen was used for air travel from 1852 when the first hydrogen lifted airship was created by Henri Giffard. Later airships that used hydrogen were called zeppelins and while they were reliable and safe for the majority of the time their use was stopped soon after the Hindenburg disaster in 1937. The Hindenburg airship was destroyed in a midair fire over New Jersey that was both filmed and broadcast live on radio.
Hydrogen is commonly used in the petroleum and chemical industries and is also widely used for many physics and engineering applications such as welding or as a coolant.
Hydrogen can be potentially dangerous to humans due to fires that can start when it is mixed with air, our inability to breathe it in its pure oxygen free form and also in its extremely cold liquid state.

#8. Elementary facts about a few Elements.
Helium is part of a group of chemical elements called noble gases, the other five that occur naturally are neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon. Under normal conditions they share similar properties, including being less likely to participate in chemical reactions due to their outer shell of electrons being full. Helium is the second least reactive element after neon.
French and English astronomers Pierre Janssen and Norman Lockyer are jointly credited with discovering helium after spectral analysis of sunlight following a solar eclipse in 1868.

The USA is the world’s largest supplier of helium, with many reserves found in large natural gas fields.

#11. Elementary fact about elements.
The rate at which helium is currently being used by humans is much faster than
the rate at which the reserves are being replenished.
New technologies for obtaining or recycling helium are the only ways to help slow down this problem.
Because helium is lighter than air it is commonly used to fill airships, blimps and balloons.
As it doesn’t burn or react with other chemicals, helium is relatively safe to use for this purpose.
Hydrogen is only 7% more buoyant than helium but it has a much higher risk of catching fire.

#12. Elementary fact about elements.
The helium balloon you got from the amusement park slowly falling to the ground after a few days, this happens as the helium gradually leaks from the balloon.
Helium has a lifting force of around one gram per liter. A balloon that holds 10 liters of helium should therefore lift an object weighing 10 grams. Unfortunately you’ll need around 5000 of these balloons if you weigh around 50kgs and want to get off the ground.
In the animated movie UP, an old man manages to lift up and fly away in his own house to his dream spot on top of a hill, using thousands of helium balloons.

Up is a 2009 American computer-animated comedy-adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and directed by Pete Docter. The film centers on an elderly widower named Carl Fredricksen (voiced by Edward Asner) and an earnest young Wilderness Explorer named Russell (Jordan Nagai).
By tying thousands of balloons to his home, 78-year-old Carl sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream to see the wilds of South America and to complete a promise made to his lifelong love. The film was co-directed by Bob Peterson, with music composed by Michael Giacchino.
Docter began working on the story in 2004, which was based on fantasies of escaping from life when it becomes too irritating. He and eleven other Pixar artists spent three days in Venezuela gathering research and inspiration.
The design of the characters were caricatured and stylized considerably, and animators were challenged with creating realistic cloth. The floating house is attached by a varying number between 10-20,000 balloons in the film's sequences.
Up was Pixar's first film to be presented in Disney Digital 3-D.[SUP]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_(2009_film)#cite_note-2[/SUP]
Up was released in May 2009 and opened the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, becoming the first animated and 3D film to do so.[SUP]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_(2009_film)#cite_note-3[/SUP]
The film became a great financial success, accumulating over $731,342,744 in its theatrical release. Up received critical acclaim, with most reviewers commending the humor and heart of the film. Edward Asner was praised for his portrayal of Carl, and a montage of Carl and his wife Ellie aging together was widely lauded. The film received five Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, making it the second animated film in history to receive such a nomination, following Beauty and the Beast (1991)

#13. Elementary facts about elements.
The balloon boy hoax from October 15, 2009 led people to believe that a six year old boy had floated away in a home made helium balloon when in fact he was hiding at his house the whole time.
Because helium is less dense than normal air, when inhaled from a source such as a helium balloon it briefly changes the sound of a person’s voice, making it much sound much higher.
However, breathing in too much helium can be very dangerous, potentially choking people due to a lack of oxygen.

Helium can be in a liquid and even solid state but they can only occur
at temperatures near absolute zero (-273 degress C)
Liquid helium is used to cool metals for superconductivity use.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research’s (CERN) Large Hadron Collider
uses liquid helium to maintain an extremely low temperature.
Helium is often used in space programs, displacing fuel in storage tanks
and having other rocket fuel applications.
