dellidrogeno

Dellidrogeno is not a formal term in chemistry or linguistics. In Italian, when expressing possession or attribution related to hydrogen, the standard form is dell’idrogeno, formed from di + lo/ l’ + idrogeno. The unhyphenated variant dellidrogeno is uncommon and typically considered a typographical or stylistic anomaly rather than a defined concept.

In linguistic terms, dell’idrogeno functions as a genitive construction meaning “of hydrogen.” It is used to attribute properties, relationships, or associations to hydrogen, for example in phrases such as le proprietà dell’idrogeno (the properties of hydrogen) or la molecola dell’idrogeno (the molecule of hydrogen). The preferred construction in technical writing is often di idrogeno or dell’idrogeno, depending on the surrounding grammar.

In scientific usage, dell’idrogeno appears in contexts where one wants to discuss characteristics or components related to hydrogen. Common examples include isotopi dell’idrogeno (isotopes of hydrogen) or legame dell’idrogeno (the hydrogen bond). When describing a compound, more precise formulations such as molecola di idrogeno (molecule of hydrogen) are typically preferred.

Orthographic note: the form dell’idrogeno with an apostrophe is standard Italian; the contiguous string dellidrogeno lacks the required elision and is generally incorrect in formal writing. In databases, branding, or informal text, you may encounter dellidrogeno, but it should be avoided in authoritative content.
