When anything burns, it breaks down and releases energy in the form of heat. Hydrogen is the most basic element and can not lose any electrons. What does hydrogen become when it burns in a contained space that only has hydrogen gas?

`It remains hydrogen. It combines with oxygen and becomes water.

Without Oxygen or another element or molecule willing to share an electron in your contained space no reaction or "burning" will occur.
If you continue to heat it to obscene levels (in Kelvin) I will reach a Plasma state and give up it's electrons...
I don't think this is what you were asking though...

If the space has only hydrogen and no oxygen, then combustion cannot occur. If the space has oxygen, then the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen produces water (that's why you see all those vapor clouds when the space shuttle is launched!)

Hydrogen combines with oxygen to become water. Oil, petrol, gas ,coal , wood, etc are Hydro-carbons, the hydrogen combines with oxygen for water, the carbon combines with oxygen to become corbon dioxide.

Hydrogen is an example of a gas... so, it means it can't be burned... Can you think of any gas that can be burned?... I don't think it's impossible to burn one...

It combines with oxygen to form water.

nothing.it remains H.it burns with a pop sound but if it is burned in O,it forms H2O

No O2 no burning

2H2(g) + O2(g) ----------> 2H2O(l)
hydogen gas+ oxygen gas gives you water, under complete combustion, a clean process
