Gas with the atomic number 1 (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hydrogen

(Other definitions for hydrogen that I've seen before include "Lightest of all gases" , "The most abundant chemical element in the universe" , "Gas, symbol H" , "With oxygen, it forms water" , "bomb-maker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
