Triatomic hydrogen

So, imagine little tiny things called atoms. These atoms can stick together to make bigger things called molecules.

Now, hydrogen is an atom that is often found by itself, but sometimes it can stick together with another hydrogen atom to make a molecule called diatomic hydrogen.

But sometimes, things get even more interesting! Three hydrogen atoms can stick together to make a molecule called triatomic hydrogen.

This molecule looks like a little triangle with one hydrogen atom on each corner. It's very rare and unstable, so scientists don't see it very often.

But studying triatomic hydrogen can help us understand how atoms and molecules work together, and it's also a fun thing to learn about!
