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.

They all have only 1 outer shell electron and are most often found in the 1+ oxidation state.

Does hydrogen behave like an alkali metal?

Yes, chemical similarities exist between hydrogen and alkali metals; also the electron configuration has a parallel.


What is the name of the group IA elements?

Alkali Metals


A sample of hydrogen gas is generated from a...?

Hydrogen can by generated, for example, from the reaction between alkali metals and water.


Why hydrogen is placed above alkali metals and not above non metals in modern periodic table?

The electron configuration of hydrogen is similar with that of alkali metals.


Which group has 1 valence electron?

Group 1- the Alkali metals and also Hydrogen.


In what way is hydrogen like the alkali metals?

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.


Why hydrogen is placed in alkali metals or in first group of modern periodic table?

As with all alkali metals, hydrogen has one electron in its outermost shell.


What gas is chemically similar to alkali metals?

(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.)


Why hydrogen is different from other alkali metals if it is different then why it is place in group 1 a?

Hydrogen is placed in the group 1 because has some chemical similarities and electron configuration (one electron).


Can Hydrogen make bond with alkali metals?

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.


Which element of the alkali metals is really not a metal?

hydrogen


How is hydrogen done?

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