Best Answer

The Group 1 elements are the Alkali metals. The element hydrogen (H) is at the top of the group, but is somewhat unique and isn't included with the rest of the elements in that group. Hydrogen doesn't exhibit the same behavior as the metals, and they're very similar in their behaviors. The Alkali metals include (going down the table) lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and francium (Fr). You've got links below to check facts and learn more.

Give an example of how hydrogens characteristics set apart from other group 1 elements?

Hydrogen is an alkali metal just like all the other elements in group 1. The difference is that hydrogen is a nonmetal and a gas which seperates it from the rest of group 1's elements. The rest of the elements in group 1 are metals and solid. (this was done by #41 for all u ppl at sjs who have no idea what the hell this worksheet was about.)

Why are group1 and 7 found as compounds?

Group 1 elements have very low electronegativies and group 7 elements have very high electronegativities, so that both are reactive with almost every other element, the group 1 elements by donating electrons and the group 7 elements by accepting electrons.
