monohydrogen

Monohydrogen refers to a single hydrogen atom. It is the most basic and abundant form of matter in the universe, consisting of a single proton and a single electron. In its atomic state, a monohydrogen atom is highly reactive. It readily forms chemical bonds with other atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration. The most common stable form of hydrogen is molecular hydrogen, H₂, which consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded together. When describing chemical compounds, "monohydrogen" is sometimes used to distinguish a single hydrogen atom within a molecule from other hydrogen atoms or when discussing isotopic variations of hydrogen. For example, in a molecule like methane (CH₄), there are four hydrogen atoms, and each can be considered individually as a monohydrogen component. The term is less common in general usage than "hydrogen atom."
