It is classed with group 1 because, like the alkali metals it has only 1 outer shell electron.

What element of group 1 is not known as an alkali metal?

Hydrogen is in group 1 but is not an alkali metal.


What group 1 element is not an alkali metal?

The alkali metals are the metals in Group 1 (the first column of the periodic table). Hydrogen is also in Group 1, and so is technically considered to be part of the alkali metal group/family. Hydrogen is in fact a non-metal, however, and does not generally exhibit behavior similar to the other Group 1 elements.


Is hydrogen consisdered to be a metal?

No, hydrogen is considered to be strictly a non-metal. Although it can be considered as a group 1 element due to some of its characteristics.


Is Hydrogen the only non-metal in its family?

No, hydrogen is not the only non-metal in its family. In the periodic table, hydrogen is placed in group 1 along with the alkali metals, but it behaves differently from the rest of the group due to its unique properties.


Why is it that hydrogen belong to group IA that hydrogen is not a metal?

Why is it that hydrogen is placed in the metal group?

Hydrogen is placed in the metal group because it only needs to lose one electron to be stable just like lithium, sodium, potassium etc It also has the same number of valence electrons as the rest of the elements in group 1a. :)


Why is Hydrogen placed in the first group if it is a non metal?

Hydrogen is placed in the first group of the periodic table because it has one electron in its outer shell, like the alkali metals in group 1. However, it is a non-metal due to its properties and behavior. Its placement in group 1 is more about its electronic configuration than its chemical properties.


What group number is hydrogen?
