We observe atomic fine structure lines, HI and HeI recombination lines and H2 ro-vibrational lines (more than 500 detections in total). Line emission was analyzed by means of Non-local Thermal Equilibiurm codes to derive the electron temperature and density, and for the first time we are able to accurately probe different physical regimes behind a dissociative shock. We find a temperature stratification in the range 4000K/80000K, and a significant correlation between temperature and ionization energy. Two density regimes are identified for the ionized gas, a more tenuous, spatially broad component (density ∼103/cm3), and a more compact component (density≥105/cm3) likely associated with the hottest gas. A further neutral component is also evidenced, having a temperature ≲10000K and a density >104/cm3. The gas fractional ionization was estimated by solving the ionization equilibrium equations of atoms detected in different ionization stages. We find that neutral and fully ionized regions co-exist inside the shock. Also, indications in favor of at least partially dissociative shock as the main mechanism for molecular excitation are derived. Chemical abundances are estimated for the majority of the detected species. On average, abundances of non-refractory/refractory elements are lower than solar of about 0.15/0.5dex. This indicates the presence of dust inside the medium, with a depletion factor of iron of ∼40%. Description: A summary of the observations of HH 1 was already given in Paper I (Giannini+, 2015ApJ...798...33G 2015ApJ...798...33G). We collected 7 X-shooter observations (resolving power of 9900, 18200 and 7780 for the UVB (3600-5900Å), VIS (5450-10200Å) and NIR arm (9900-24700Å)) of HH 1 (pointing: RAJ2000=05:36:20.27,DEJ2000=-06:45:04.84), in the period November 1 2013-January 2 2014, each integrated 30min on-source.
