No, hydrogen is a nonmetal.
It is grouped with the alkali metals because it has a similar outer shell electron configuration as they do.
Hydrogen is something of an oddball among elements. It is rather unique, but share some characteristics with both the halogens and the alkali metals. When the Periodic Table is divided into groups (noble gasses, halogens, alkali metals, etc.) hydrogen is usually put in its own group.

What are the alkali metals and coinage metals?
Alkali metals are group 1 metals such as lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and francium. Coinage metals are metals used in coin age to make coins. They are copper, gold and silver.
Why are the elements of group IA called alkali metals?
yes you are true. we call them alkali metals.
When the alkali metals react with they make a gas called?
It depends on what they are reacting with.
Do alkali metals generally make anions or cations?
Cations.
What elements would it be easier to remove two electrons from?
The halogens (group 17) and the alkali metals (group 1) combine to make full-shell compounds. The noble gases, group 18, already contains full shells and does not bond easily because of this.
Can Mercury bond with Alkali Earth Metals?
In special conditions an alkali earth metal and mercury has the ability to make metallic bonds, but not covalent or ionic bonds.
What name is given to group one elements in the periodic table?
The elements in Group 1 of the periodic table are called the alkali metals. The elements that make up this group are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, cesium, and Francium. Hydrogen is not in this group even though it may look like it. The alkali metals are highly reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell making them ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements. Some other cool facts are: --Like other metals, alkali metals are malleable, ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity --The alkali metals are softer than most other metals. --Alkali metals can explode if they are exposed to water.
Which set of elements make up the reactive group of all metals?
The alkali metals in column 1 of most wide-form periodic tables.
Are alkali earth metals liquids?
no, the alkali metals make up the first period and all of them are highly reactive.
What are pairs of atoms that will make an ionic bond?
A metal as Alkali metals and a non metal as Halogens may form an ionic bond as Na and Cl (NaCl), K and F (KF).
What are the alkali metals and coinage metals?
Alkali metals are group 1 metals such as lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and francium. Coinage metals are metals used in coin age to make coins. They are copper, gold and silver.
Is hydrogen an alkali metal in the periodic table?
No, it isn't. One of the clues of telling that is isn't, is that hydrogen is a gas, and If it was an alkali METAL, it would not be a gas, but a metal. Its place on the table does make sense, though; hydrogen tends to behave like other members of it's column in chemical reactions. For example, All of the alkali metals, and hydrogen Combine with oxygen to form the compound X2O, where "X" is either Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium, Potasium, Rubidium, Cesium, or Francium.
How do we use alkali metals in fireworks?
it helps make the colors
Lithium is a member of which chemical family?
The alkali metals. Lithium is the first member of the alkali metal family. The alkali metals are the elements that make up Group 1 (IA) of the periodic table.
Why are the elements of group IA called alkali metals?
yes you are true. we call them alkali metals.
Do acids make hydrogen when they react with some metals?
When acids react with metals they can produce hydrogen.
What bond does hydrogen and germanium make?
A covalent bond
