Hydrogen is grouped with alkali metals because it?
it has one electron in its outer energy level like all alkali metals
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.
What is the name of the group IA elements?
Alkali Metals
Is hydrogen a alkali metal or alkaline metal?
Alkali metals can be substituted for hydrogen. Any of them. They include lithim (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs) and francium (Fr). The alkali metals are in group one of the periodic table of the elements, and are all stacked up in the column below hydrogen. All the alkali metals are all organized with a lone electron in their outer most shell, or valence shell (in the neutral atom) and all of the alkali metals would like to loan out that electron to anything that would like to borrow it. It turns out that the reactivity of alkali metals are least to greatest from the top of the column to the bottom. This is because of electron screening.

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 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.)
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.
What is the family of hydrogen?
Hydrogen is placed in group 1, along with alkali metals
