Double layered means 2  hydrogen on top of a single oxygen. Water is polar so it has a sort of V shape where the hydrogen are next to each other.

No

Look up LDH on wikipedia, or google image it for pretty pictures.
Rughugger:
Depends on the chemical composition. Hydrogen doesn't just combine dually with Oxygen. Just most commonly due to the abundance of both particulates. :)

Still requires a minimum energy to kick start the reaction, plus it's excessively slow unless it's kick-started via a radical chain reaction or something. That's why the Hindenburg didn't suddenly explode while they were filling it up due to a tiny microscopic leak somewhere.

Also for LDHs water's involved, kind of, but it's got more to do with metal hydroxides forming clay layers.

Hail ftw. I've only seen it two times in my life, but hell it's awesome.
