  that is a very tough question! To be honest I have no idea as it is very far away from my area but your question is really good and specific! Maybe you’ll be a future chemist, physicist, astronaut? =)
  
  But I found something on hydrogen and oxygen for rockets by Nasa: https://www.nasa.gov/topics/technology/hydrogen/hydrogen_fuel_of_choice.html
  
  Hope it helps!
