What happens when a hydrogen atpm atom acts like a nonmetal in a chemical reaction?

When a hydrogen atom acts like a nonmetal in a chemical reaction, it will typically gain an electron to form a hydride ion (H^-). This allows hydrogen to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to a noble gas, such as helium. As a result, the hydrogen atom exhibits properties more characteristic of a nonmetal, such as forming ionic bonds with metals.


What are the two groups that hydrogen can act as?

Hydrogen can act either like a metal or a non-metal. It may seem to you that hydrogen, which is a gas, is obviously not a metal, however under conditions of low temperature and high pressure, hydrogen does become a solid metal that looks and acts like other metals. In terms of chemistry, hydrogen can be either an electron donor, typical of metals, or an electron recipient, typical of non-metals.
