(redirected from hydrogen peroxide-based teat dips)

   Also found in: Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.04 sec.
hy·dro·gen  (hdr-jn)
n. Symbol H
A colorless, highly flammable gaseous element, the lightest of all gases and the most abundant element in the universe, used in the production of synthetic ammonia and methanol, in petroleum refining, in the hydrogenation of organic materials, as a reducing atmosphere, in oxyhydrogen torches, and in rocket fuels. Atomic number 1; atomic weight 1.00794; melting point -259.14°C; boiling point -252.8°C; density at 0°C 0.08987 gram per liter; valence 1. See Table at element.

[French hydrogène : Greek hudro-, hydro- + French -gène, -gen.]

hy·droge·nous (-drj-ns) adj.

hydrogen
Noun
Chem a colourless gas that burns easily and is the lightest element in the universe. It occurs in water and in most organic compounds Symbol: H[hydro- + -gen (producing); because its combustion produces water]
hydrogenous adj

hydrogen  (hdr-jn)
Symbol H
The lightest and most abundant element in the universe, normally consisting of one proton and one electron. It occurs in water in combination with oxygen, in most organic compounds, and in small amounts in the atmosphere as a gaseous mixture of its three isotopes (protium, deuterium, and tritium) in the colorless, odorless compound H2. Hydrogen atoms are relatively electropositive and form hydrogen bonds with electronegative atoms. In the Sun and other stars, the conversion of hydrogen into helium by nuclear fusion produces heat and light. Hydrogen is used to make rocket fuel, synthetic ammonia, and methanol, to hydrogenate fats and oils, and to refine petroleum. The development of physical theories of electron orbitals in hydrogen was important in the development of quantum mechanics. Atomic number 1; atomic weight 1.00794; melting point -259.14°C; boiling point -252.8°C; density at 0°C 0.08987 gram per liter; valence 1. See Periodic Table. See Note at oxygen.
