Hydrogen is a non-metal. Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is the most abundant element in the known universe. It is the lightest and simplest having only one proton and one electron.
Although hydrogen has an ns1 electron configuration just like alkali metals, it is still not metal because it varies greatly from the alkali metals as it forms cations (H+) more reluctantly than other alkali metals.
Because hydrogen is a nonmetal and forms H–(hydride anions), it is placed above the halogens in the Periodic Table.
Hydrogen also forms H2dihydrogen like halogens.
However, hydrogen is very different from halogens. Hydrogen has a much smaller electron affinity than halogens.
Despite the fact that hydrogen (H) is found in group 1 of the periodic table (along with the alkali metals) it is NOT considered to be a metal. When it bonds, e.g. with a halogen such as Cl to form HCl, this is a polar covalent bond, not an ionic bond. If it were a metal, it would form an ionic bond.

No, it is a non-metal.
true
It is false.
is it true or false
False
False. When a metal reacts with a nonmetal an ionic bond is formed.
That is false. A hydrogen bond is characterized by an electrical attraction and a hydrogen is attracted to weakly negative atoms. It doesn't transfer its electron.
Hydrogen is not a metal. It is a non-metal.
