This question is a bit of a "non-sequitir"non-sequitir.

Explanation:

"Hydrogen IS AN ELEMENT"Hydrogen IS AN ELEMENT, and normally occurs as a binuclear gas under normal conditions, i.e. H_2H2. Chemists often refer to this as "dihydrogen"dihydrogen to emphasize its molecularity.

Under forcing conditions, we could examine homolysis of the H-HHH bond:

H_2 + Delta rarr 2dotH.

What does Delta mean here?
