as it has only one proton and electron and no neutrons
Hydrogen is not in a group with other families. It actually is in group 1 of the Periodic Table. It is a diatomic atom when it combines with other elements.
Hydrogen is different than all the other elements
Hydrogen is unique among the elements, something of an oddball. It does not fit well into the other groups such as the metalloids, halogens, or alkali metals, so it is given its own group.
Hydrogen is the only primordial element in the universe. All the other elements formed inside stars from hydrogen or from other secondary elements, by nuclear fusion. Hydrogen has the least number of protons in its nucleus of all the elements, and hence has the lowest atomic number, one.
Even though hydrogen has a vacant electron in its outer shell, like many of the elements in group 1 of the periodic table, it has unusual properties, e.g. it is a gas at room temperature, whereas the other elements are all solid. As a result, some forms of the periodic table show hydrogen above the rest in the table, in its own special place. However, it is still in group 1

Hydrogen is a unique element because it only has one proton, one electron and no neutrons. Because of this configuration, it can readily form both ionic and covalent bonds.
Dimitri Mendeleev is credited with the the creation of the first modern and rational periodic table of chemical elements; but other chemists also had contributions.
Hydrogen is different than all the other elements
Hydrogen is in group 1A because it has one electron in its valence shell. But it's probably best to think of hydrogen as a unique, and ubiquitous, element that really belongs with the nonmetals such as boron, carbon, etc. If you can look at a periodic table with the elements grouped in colored categories you will see that hydrogen belongs with about ten other elements called the nonmetals. Hydrogen is so unique it doesn't fit with any basic category, just in 1A because of 1 electron in the valence shell.

first group of periodic table... hydrogen is a gas and other elements are solid....
It is believed this was how the universe formed. Hydrogen fuses to form all the other heavier elements on the periodic table up to Element number 92

Stars contain hydrogen and helium and some other minor constituents as metals.
No, the first element on the Periodic Table is Hydrogen, but because of its unusual behaviour it is usually placed by itself, not next to any other elements. The second element is Helium.
