nonmetals because hydrogen is a gas
The physical properties of hydrogen are closer to those of nonmetals. Hydrogen is a diatomic gas with low melting and boiling points, similar to other nonmetals. It does not exhibit typical metallic properties like high electrical conductivity or metallic luster.
It depends what you move it closer to.
When molecules get closer together, they will likely interact more strongly with each other due to increased proximity, potentially leading to chemical reactions or changes in physical properties.
When something cools, its temperature decreases, causing the molecules in the material to slow down and move closer together. This can lead to changes in physical properties, such as solidification or contraction.
The Balmer lines of hydrogen get closer together because as electrons move from higher energy levels to lower energy levels, the energy difference between the levels decreases, causing the wavelengths of light emitted to be closer together.
Condensation represents a physical change as it involves the phase transition of a gas to a liquid. This change occurs when the temperature of the gas decreases, causing the gas molecules to slow down and come closer together, forming a liquid.
Temperature affects the physical properties of matter by influencing the movement and arrangement of its particles. As temperature increases, particles move faster and spread out, causing matter to expand and change state (e.g. from solid to liquid or gas). Conversely, as temperature decreases, particles slow down and come closer together, leading to contraction and changes in state in the opposite direction.

Elements in the same group have similar characteristics because they have the same number of valence electrons, which determines their chemical properties. In contrast, elements in the same period have different characteristics because they have different numbers of energy levels and electron configurations.
Hydrogen is a very unique element. It really can't be classified with any others. However, due primarily to the fact that helium rarely bonds, hydrogen is probably closer to sodium.
In algebra, as in the physical world, steeper means closer to vertical.
When a gas is subjected to extremely high pressure, its volume decreases and its particles are forced closer together, increasing the density of the gas. This can lead to changes in the physical properties of the gas, such as a decrease in its volume and an increase in its temperature.
