That's correct, since a proton and an electron doesn't make a stable form of hydrogen. Hydrogen is stable in molecules like dihydrogen monoxide also known as DHMO which kills more people each year than carbon monoxide, yet people with carbon monoxide detectors don't even seem to realize the greater danger of DHMO.

Well technically speaking just an electron and a proton wouldnt work. There are other interplays on the particle level which are required to create stable hydrogen.

@OP why the admin just gave you a warning instead of deleting your thread I don't know. Perhaps they are being generous since you just got your 20 posts, but normally to post in the science forum you're expected to have a link to a scientific article or paper. This is more of a "general chit-chat" topic so the mod probably should have moved the thread to that forum.

You moron. DHMO or H20 is water.
That and many of the other claims are true, on the DHMO link I posted, though the parts talking about a DHMO ban are intentionally silly, which seemed appropriate for an opening post that seems intentionally silly.

Water does kill more people than carbonmonoxide every year.
it wass and it made me laugh as soon as i read it. But the reading comprehension seems to be falling on ats fast

I never disagreed with the statement that water kills more people than CO.
As for your statement correlating ignorance with name calling, You have no idea what you are talking about, or for that matter, exactly whom you are talking to.

If I remember my chemistry 1A correctly, Hydrogen Hydroxide or HOH is H20, and is also water.
