The alkali metals are the metals in Group 1 (the first column of the Periodic Table). Hydrogen is also in Group 1, and so is technically considered to be part of the alkali metal group/family. Hydrogen is in fact a non-metal, however, and does not generally exhibit behavior similar to the other Group 1 elements.
