Why hydrogen is placed above alkali metals and not above non-metals in Modern Periodic Table?

It is much more common for hydrogen to lose an electron and become H+ than it is for it to become H- (like a halogen would), as in a hydride. Because it is possible for either behavior, though, some periodic tables DO show hydrogen in group 17. Some show it in group 1. Some show both, and some show hydrogen sitting in the middle by itself. It's a tricky one.

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.
Is hydrogen its own group on the periodic table?
No, hydrogen is not its own group on the periodic table. It is located in Group 1, but it is not a typical alkali metal like the elements in that group. Hydrogen is unique because it has properties of both metals and nonmetals, and its placement in the periodic table is a subject of debate among chemists.
Which alkali metal is the most reactive on the periodic table?
Hydrogen.
Which block in the periodic tabe contains the alkali metals?
The Alkali Metals are the first column of the periodic table, except for Hydrogen.
Why is the position of hydrogen not justified in periodic table?
Because hydrogen resembles both Halogens and Alkali Metals.
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.
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.
Where on periodic table can you find alkali metals?
In the first group of modern periodic table,i.e from hydrogen to francium.
Is hydrogen its own group on the periodic table?
No, hydrogen is not its own group on the periodic table. It is located in Group 1, but it is not a typical alkali metal like the elements in that group. Hydrogen is unique because it has properties of both metals and nonmetals, and its placement in the periodic table is a subject of debate among chemists.
What nonmetals are in the hydrogen family?
None. In modern periodic tables H is included in group 1- this is called the alkali metal family- all the other members of rhe group are metals. It is not usually called the hydrogen family. Hydrogen is included with the alkali metals in group 1 because its ouetr shell contains 1 electron- however hydrogen is different from the other members of the grouo in its chemistry.

What is the group that hydrogen is in?
Hydrogen is a non-metal; it's in group VII
Elements on the left side of the periodic table?
Elements on the left side of the Periodic Table are "Alkali Metals". There is also one non-metal element. H(hydrogen)
Which alkali metal is the most reactive on the periodic table?
Hydrogen.
Non metal on the left hand side of the periodic table?
No, most nonmetals are on the RIGHT upper corner of the periodic table. The only nonmetal on the left side is hydrogen.
Which block in the periodic tabe contains the alkali metals?
The Alkali Metals are the first column of the periodic table, except for Hydrogen.
Why is the position of hydrogen not justified in periodic table?
Because hydrogen resembles both Halogens and Alkali Metals.
