Because hydrogen is the lightest element it was used as an alternative to helium to fill two blimps during World War 2 when helium was unavailable to Germany. Unlike helium, however, hydrogen's extreme flammability and explosiveness led to a disaster known as the Hindenburg disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen hydrogen is excited it produces a lavender to a magenta color. The hydrogen sample in our cubes is under vacuum which means that it glows in an electric field similar to how neon signs glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6gJAFWC5BqA\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Engineered Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39317958197446,"sku":"AC-102001-S1","price":68.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0331\/8035\/2556\/files\/Hydrogen_Cube_Facing_Left_White_Background.png?v=1724950751"},{"product_id":"yttrium-element-cube","title":"Yttrium Element Cube","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYttrium is a chemical element with the symbol Y and atomic number 39.

It is extremely radioactive; its most stable isotope, francium-223, has a half-life of only 22 minutes. Bulk francium has never been seen, since the extreme heat of decay resulting from its short half-life would immediately vaporize any viewable quantity of the element. Named after the country it was discovered in, France. It was the last element first discovered in nature, rather than by synthesis. Outside the laboratory, francium is extremely rare, with trace amounts found in uranium and thorium ores, where the isotope francium-223 continually forms and decays.
