This lecture covers the fundamental role of hydrogen in galaxies, focusing on the hydrogen atom, its structure, and interactions with photons. It explores the different forms of hydrogen found in galaxies, such as molecular clouds and ionized hydrogen. The measurement of hydrogen content in the Milky Way Galaxy and the use of HI velocity fields to determine total dynamical mass are also discussed.
