They are similar by that they are both odorless and colorless. They are also both lighter than air. And they are both gases that occur naturally.
No, it is not it is totally different elements.
They all have only 1 outer shell electron and are most often found in the 1+ oxidation state.
All lithium atoms have the same number of protons, 3, in each nucleus.
same group
Alkali Metals
Hydrogen can by generated, for example, from the reaction between alkali metals and water.
Hydrogen has a single valence electron, just like the alkali metals. Unlike them, however, hydrogen prefers to covalently bond instead of forming an ionic bond.
As with all alkali metals, hydrogen has one electron in its outermost shell.
(A similar relationship exists in Group 1, which includes hydrogen and the alkali metals. All have the same valence configuration, but hydrogen is never included as a member of the alkali metals family.)
Yes, chemical similarities exist between hydrogen and alkali metals; also the electron configuration has a parallel.

Group 1- the Alkali metals and also Hydrogen.
Hydrogen has a single valence electron, just like the alkali metals. Unlike them, however, hydrogen prefers to covalently bond instead of forming an ionic bond.
As with all alkali metals, hydrogen has one electron in its outermost shell.
(A similar relationship exists in Group 1, which includes hydrogen and the alkali metals. All have the same valence configuration, but hydrogen is never included as a member of the alkali metals family.)
Hydrogen is placed in the group 1 because has some chemical similarities and electron configuration (one electron).
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.

For example hydrogen is released when alkali metals react with water.
