Atomic Hydrogen

Atomic Hydrogen
Introduction
Molecular hydrogen is di-atomic and requires 104 kilo – calories per mole for its decomposition. The hydrogen obtained during this decomposition is called as “Atomic Hydrogen”. The life period of atomic hydrogen is 1/3rd of the second. i.e. two atoms of hydrogen quickly combine and form molecular hydrogen . it was first detected by  “wood” in 1920 during the study of hydrogen spectra.
Definition:

Hydrogen obtained by decomposition of molecular hydrogen during heating is called as atomic-hydrogen
