is electricity any different than ionized hydrogen?

• delinka 11y ago
  Absolutely. To be called "hydrogen" (or any element really), a nucleus must be involved. Electron-free nuclei maintain their elemental identities, they're just positively charged and willing to take on electrons. "Electricity" involves moving electrons, which doesn't always require a nucleus (hence "free electrons")

    Ok, but hydrogen's nucleus is only a proton...
