No. Hydrogen is a nonmetal.
It is only put in the alkali metal column because it has a similar electron configuration.
Because to be stable they need 8 atoms on outermost shell.Alkali need 7 so are highly reactive.
Hydrogen is not included in all metals. In fact, hydrogen is not a metal but a non-metal gas. While hydrogen can interact with some metals to form compounds like metal hydrides, it is not a component of all metals.
Hydrogen can react with metals to form metal hydrides. This reaction can occur at high temperatures or under certain conditions, and it depends on the specific metal and its reactivity with hydrogen.
This is because metals have positive ions and so does hydrogen. Hence the nature of their reactivity is same but the value of reactivity is different. Therefore metals replace hydrogen in a reaction while non metals dont...
Hydrogen sulfide is H2S and has no metals. Both hydrogen and sulphur are non metals.
No. Metals liberate hydrogen gas from acids.
The electron configuration of hydrogen is similar with that of 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.
When metals react with dilute acids, hydrogen gas is evolved. This is because metals displace hydrogen from the acid, resulting in the formation of metal salts and hydrogen gas as a byproduct. The reaction can be represented as metal + acid → metal salt + hydrogen gas.
Acids can react with metals to produce hydrogen gas, not oxygen. When acids react with metals, they displace hydrogen gas from the acid.
