What nonmetals are found 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.


Do all metals react with hydrocholric acid?

No, not all metals react with hydrochloric acid. Generally, metals that are more reactive than hydrogen in the reactivity series will react with hydrochloric acid to form metal chloride and hydrogen gas. Metals which are less reactive than hydrogen, such as copper, silver, and gold, do not react with hydrochloric acid.


Do all metals react with hydrochloric acid to give hydrogen gas?

No, not all metals react with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. Only metals higher in the reactivity series than hydrogen, such as zinc, iron, and magnesium, will react with hydrochloric acid to form hydrogen gas. Metals like gold, silver, and platinum do not react with hydrochloric acid.


Why is hydrogen not included in group 1 in modern periodic table?

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


Do all metals react with acids to release hydrogen gas?

No: Only those metals that are higher in the electromotive series than hydrogen react with acids to release hydrogen gas. Examples of metals that never undergo this reaction are copper, silver, and gold. Also, even some metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electromotive series do not react rapidly enough to notice under ordinary conditions because of spontaneous formation of passive layers on their surfaces. Aluminum and austenitic stainless steels are examples of this group. These passivating metals will react, however, if their passive surfaces are broken by mechanical means.

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.)


Why hydrogen placed in activity chart of metals when it is not a metal?

Hydrogen may not be a metal, but it does share some properties with metals. It forms a positive cation, H+, and can displace some metals in displacement reactions. Basically, it is included in the reactivity series because it is able to displace some metals but not others.

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.


Why are carbon and hydrogen in the reactivity series?

"Carbon and hydrogen are often included in the reactivity series even though they are non-metals. Carbon is included because this helps to explain what happens in the extraction of iron in a blast furnace. Hydrogen is included because any metal below it will not react with dilute acids."http://www.frankswebspace.org.uk/ScienceAndMaths/chemistry/reactivitySeries.htm

Which does not include metals in the periodic table?

All metals known to man are already included in the periodic table.


Explain why hydrogen is not included in group 1 in most versions of the modern periodic table?

Hydrogen is not included in group 1 in most versions of the modern periodic table because it does not exhibit the typical characteristics of alkali metals found in group 1. While hydrogen can lose an electron to form a positive ion like alkali metals, it can also gain an electron to form a negative ion like halogens. This dual behavior makes hydrogen unique and not easily categorized with alkali metals. Therefore, it is often placed separately at the top of the periodic table.


When metals react with acids is hydrogen always being reduced?

When metals react with acids, hydrogen ions (H⁺) from the acid are often reduced to form hydrogen gas (H₂). This process involves the transfer of electrons, where the metal is oxidized and the hydrogen ions are reduced. However, not all reactions with acids result in hydrogen gas production; some metals may not produce hydrogen in certain conditions. Therefore, while hydrogen is commonly reduced in reactions with many metals, it is not a universal rule for all metal-acid reactions.


Are non metals important?

The non-metals carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen are the basis of all life on the planet.
