Which of these statements describes a physical property of hydrogen? Group of answer choices it is found in acids. it is less dense than oxygen gas. it reacts with oxygen to form water. it is highly flammable.

it is less dense than oxygen gas.

Explanation:

Hydrogen is the simplest chemical element that exists. The symbol for the chemical element Hydrogen is "H" and it is a colourless, tasteless, odorless, and highly flammable gas.

Hydrogen is a chemical element found in group (1) of the periodic table and as such it has one (1) electrons in its outermost shell. Therefore, Hydrogen has an atomic number of one (1) and a single valence electrons because it has only one proton and one electron in its nucleus.

In Chemistry, the properties of a chemical element that can be observed and measured without changing its chemical nature is known as a physical property. It includes density, color, freezing point, opacity, smell, melting point, viscosity, etc.

Hence, the statement which describes a physical property of hydrogen is that it is less dense (density) than oxygen gas.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
