Collisions of energetic H and D atoms with the thermalized H and O atmospheric gas are investigated. Accurate potential energy surfaces for H + H and H + O interaction are used in our quantum mechanical computations of the differential and total cross-sections of elastic collisions of hydrogen atoms. Collisions of hydrogen isotopes are also investigated. Simplified fitting formulas, describing general features of calculated collisional cross-sections, are discussed. Energy spectra of the secondary energetic atoms produced in recoil collisions are calculated. Rates of the momentum and energy relaxation of energetic H atoms are computed for collisional energies between 0.01eV and 10 keV. Energy relaxation of energetic H atoms produced in the charge-exchange collisions of solar wind ions in the upper Martian atmosphere is analyzed. Impact of H + H and H + O collisions on a formation of the escape flux of hydrogen atoms and their isotopes is investigated.
