Well, it's a gas, so its properties are closer to nonmetals.

What happen when you move hydrogen closer?
It depends what you move it closer to.
Do elements of the same group or period have more similar characteristics?
Groups. For example, the halogens share properties, the noble gases share properties.
What has the greatest chance to lose electrons and become positive ions Metals or Nonmetals?
Metals. Nonmetals are closer to filling up their outer electron shell so the metals give up their electrons and become positive ions.
What is polarity in a water molecule?
The oxygen and hydrogen in water are bonded by a covalent bond. This means that the two lone lone electrons of hydrogen are shared with oxygen. Oxygen has a tendency to "hoard" electrons. So when it bonds with the hydrogen the two shared electrons are closer to the oxygen than to the hydrogen. As a result one side of water(the one with the oxygen) becomes slightly negative due to the fact that the oxygen has the two electrons closer to it. The side of the hydrogen becomes slightly positive as a result. When two or more molecules of water are placed together the slightly negatively charged oxygen from one molecule attracts the slightly positively charged hydrogen from another molecule forming a weak hydrogen bond. this hydrogen bond is formed as a result of the polarity of water.
The structure of water causes hydrogen to have a positive or negative charge?
Positive. Since the Oxygen atom has a higher electronegativity (it is more likely to draw in electrons) than the Hydrogen atoms, the electrons that are shared in the two oxygen/hydrogen bonds will move closer to the Oxygen atom. This will give the Oxygen atom a slightly positive charge and the 2 Hydrogen atoms a slighty negative charge. Because of this, a water molecule is considered polar.

nonmetals because hydrogen is a gas

Which metal is similar in properties to sodium on the periodic table?
potassium is very close in properties with sodium after it calcium is closer to sodium in properties.

Metals. Nonmetals are closer to filling up their outer electron shell so the metals give up their electrons and become positive ions.
What Makes up 75 percent of the sun's mass?
Hydrogen. Actually the figure is closer to73.46% hydrogen. 24.85% is helium.
Does the chlorine atoms in hydrogen chloride have a stronger attraction for the electrons than the hydrogen atoms do?
Yes. The electronegativity of chlorine is more than that of hydrogen. As such, the electrons are closer towards chlorine than hydrogen in HCl.
Which element will be closer to the top of the periodic table?
hydrogen (top left) and helium (top right)
Why is a water molecule a polar molecule?
Different elements have different electro-negativities. Electro-negativity is the ability of an atom to withdraw 'electron density' towards itself, i.e. it makes electrons come closer to it.Fluorine is the most electronegative of the elements.Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen and so in water (H2O) the oxygen 'pulls' the electrons closer to itself and become slightly negative, and the hydrogen's slightly positive, this is called a permanent dipole.Due to this effect water has many properties that make it unusual and important to living things.
What are the properties of an image seen in a concave mirror if the object is closer to the mirror than the focal point?
g
Is hydrogen more like helium or sodium?
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.
What is a steeper slope?
In algebra, as in the physical world, steeper means closer to vertical.
