Because it got 1 proton.
hydrogen is an element of the periodic table and has the symbol H. hydrogen has 1 electron and is 1st on the periodic table.
elements 56 through 71 are called the lanthanoids
Hydrogen (H) is both the first element on the table and the first element with a half filled orbital (S1)
In the Periodic Table of Elements there are: 118 Observed Elements 114 Officially Discovered Elements 112 Officially named Elements 92 Naturally Occuring Elements 83 Non-radioactive elements
Sodium is an Alkali Metal, this is group 1 in the periodic table.
Nitrogen can be found in the 1st period of group 15 elements in the periodic table.
GOOD INFORMATION!!!!!! ......well.. hydrogen is a nonmetal! It is also a gas.. NOT SURPRISED!!!! It is also the most abundant element in the universe. It is fuel for the sun and the stars, it is believed that right now that there are 2,000 times more hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms and 10,000 times more hydrogen atoms than carbon atoms. If you dont know anything about any element ask me!!!!
Hydrogen is the element which is not alkaline metal but in the top of the periodic table. It is depicted in the 1st group because it has 1 valence electron. It is a non metal.

His periodic was not in complete accordance with what he was classifying with i.e classification with respect to ascending atomic mass. here is an example: the atomic mass of the Ar is 39.9 and that of sodium is 39 but he placed Ar in the zero group and Na in the 1st group. this is one example. his periodic table had some more defects like this. this defect was observed when the true atomic masses were known. In his time the true atomic masses were not known. This was one of the reason for the failure of his periodic table.
Not according to the periodic table. Alkali metals are metals in the 1st column of the periodic table: Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium, and Francium.
