Both hydrogen and alkali metals are highly reactive elements that readily lose an electron to form positive ions. They both have low ionization energies and exhibit similar chemical properties in terms of forming ionic compounds. Additionally, they are light elements with low densities.
They all have only 1 outer shell electron and are most often found in the 1+ oxidation state.
All lithium atoms have the same number of protons, 3, in each nucleus.

In what way is hydrogen like the alkali metals?
Hydrogen shares some properties with alkali metals, particularly in its ability to lose one electron to form a cation with a +1 charge like alkali metals. However, hydrogen is a nonmetal and not a metal like the alkali metals.
A sample of hydrogen gas is generated from a...?
Hydrogen can by generated, for example, from the reaction between alkali metals and water.
Why hydrogen is placed in alkali metals or in first group of modern periodic table?
As with all alkali metals, hydrogen has one electron in its outermost shell.
What gas is chemically similar to alkali metals?
(A similar relationship exists in Group 1, which includes hydrogen and the alkali metals. All have the same valence configuration, but hydrogen is never included as a member of the alkali metals family.)
Is hydrogen a alkali metal or alkaline metal?
Alkali metals can be substituted for hydrogen. Any of them. They include lithim (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs) and francium (Fr). The alkali metals are in group one of the periodic table of the elements, and are all stacked up in the column below hydrogen. All the alkali metals are all organized with a lone electron in their outer most shell, or valence shell (in the neutral atom) and all of the alkali metals would like to loan out that electron to anything that would like to borrow it. It turns out that the reactivity of alkali metals are least to greatest from the top of the column to the bottom. This is because of electron screening.

Does hydrogen behave like an alkali metal?
Yes, chemical similarities exist between hydrogen and alkali metals; also the electron configuration has a parallel.

Why hydrogen is placed above alkali metals and not above non metals in modern periodic table?
The electron configuration of hydrogen is similar with that of alkali metals.
Why hydrogen is different from other alkali metals if it is different then why it is place in group 1 a?
Hydrogen is placed in the group 1 because has some chemical similarities and electron configuration (one electron).
Why hydrogen is placed in alkali metals or in first group of modern periodic table?
As with all alkali metals, hydrogen has one electron in its outermost shell.
What is the group that hydrogen is in?
Hydrogen is in group 1 of the periodic table, also known as the alkali metals group.
What gas is chemically similar to alkali metals?
(A similar relationship exists in Group 1, which includes hydrogen and the alkali metals. All have the same valence configuration, but hydrogen is never included as a member of the alkali metals family.)
Which element of the alkali metals is really not a metal?
hydrogen
How is hydrogen done?
For example hydrogen is released when alkali metals react with water.

Hydrogen is grouped with alkali metals because it?
Hydrogen is grouped with alkali metals because it has similar chemical properties, such as having one electron in its outer shell and being reactive. However, hydrogen is not a true alkali metal as it does not readily form a cation with a 1+ charge like the alkali metals do.
