Featuring: The Lighter Side of Hydrogen with Ron Hipschman
The periodic table outlines the fundamental building blocks of all known matter in the universe. Composed of irreducible atoms, these elements arrived from the earliest reports of the Big Bang, the fusion wombs of stars and supernova, and collisions between interstellar matter and cosmic rays-as well as through artificial production in the lab. A scant 4.9% of the universe (the rest being dark matter and energy), the 118 elements currently arrayed on the periodic table display unique and yet beautifully related properties and behaviors. To us, they mean everything: from iron to uranium, their discovery and use have shaped the course of human history.
In this new Thursday night series, we invite you to come be in your elements with Exploratorium host and scientific raconteur Ron Hipschman. Follow tales of intrigue and invention, join in dynamic demonstrations, and uncover fascinating connections between individual elements and our collective experience.
Join us next time!

It is obvious that hydrogen burned in the Hindenburg, but the reason it caught fire in the first place was most likely the covering, not a hydrogen leak. See excerpt from article search below from 2017: "What Addison Bain found has led him to point to the coating on the Hindenburg's covering as the fatal flaw, rather than the hydrogen tanks. He said the covering, or envelope as it was called, had a butyl-based coating that was nonconductive, so when the electrical charge built up on the outside of the ship, it didn’t dissipate as it should have. That day, the electrical charge was greater because the Hindenburg was coming in for a higher landing than normal, Bain said. The charge ignited the fabric covering." The Mythbusters also looked into this.

The graphic for the isotopes of hydrogen is wrong! It should read: "Hydrogen : 1 protron Deuterium : 1 proton, 1 neutron Tritium : 1 proton, 2 neutrons"

Hey great catch!

29:37 I'm sure some of it was intentional. He doesn't mention a word about Tritium, nor M.A.S.E.R.s. You could make a list of curve balls.
