Because of its abundance in molecular clouds, the hydrogen molecule is the most important collision partner in a discussion of thermal equilibrium or non-equilibrium in most interstellar molecules. The purpose of this talk is to summarize the properties of the H2 molecule as a collision partner based on laboratory experiments on NH3-H2 collisions.
