Hydrogen
Most of its section is about oxides. Why not talk about how it is so strange because of its unique 1s1 configuration and how its chemistry is essentially that of a particle, the proton? Double sharp (talk) 13:13, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Featured article?
While I was reading this article for the first time, I was surprised by the quality and format of it. While it definitely needs some reference work (lots of citation needed templates) and the comparison section needs expansion (doesn't even compare boiling point?) I can see a lot of work has gone into this and there is a huge amount of detail. What do you think about working towards a FA? Laurdecl talk 11:08, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for your gracious feedback Laurdecl. In the past I've fleetingly thought about developing this article to FAC standard, and nominating it, but have never done anything about it. Personally, I need to have enough motivation, and time, for this kind of thing. I don't have either of these now and, looking ahead at intended commitments, probably won't have for the foreseeable future.
