Does Graphene contain any hydrogen atoms like graphite?

[mr_j]

apparently according to wikipedia, it does not it is just a bunch of carbon molecules connected all together in double bonds (persnnaly I have never heard of this molecule before )
they don't mention stuff about graphite, but I have seen photos, ggraphite in this pic has endings were hydrogen are bonded

graphene on the other hand

does not have any single bonds apparent that bond its carbon molecules to hydrogen

edit: in graphene it seems each carbon makes 3 bonds, that's one double bond and 2 singular to other carbons

That means there aren't any delocalized electrons, right?

I forgot what that means (hey I left pharmacy)

but the way that works(I think) is that each carbon has a double bond to a carbon, and single bonds to 2, and if you have studied benzene ring before, the bonds keep alternating to keep the molecule balanced, this is why if we measure the bond lenght, we will see that the 3 bonds have an equal lenght, as if they were identical

that's pretty much all I know
