Preferred term

neutral hydrogen atom  

Definition(s)

  • Non-ionized atomic hydrogen gas which constitutes an important component of the interstellar medium, accounting for perhaps half its mass, even though its density is very low. Its radio emission 21-centimeter line has made it possible to map the distribution of neutral hydrogen in the spiral arms of our own Galaxy and other nearby galaxies.
