The halogens react with hydrogen to form; Hydrogen + Chlorine = Hydrogen Chloride Hydrogen + Bromine = Hydrogen Bromide Hydrogen + Fluorine = Hydrogen Fluoride etc When these products are dissolved in water they form monobasic acids; Hydrogen Cholride --> Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) Hydrogen Bromide --> Hydrobromic Acid (HBr) Hydrogen Fluoride --> Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) etc

Hydrogen has a lower electronegativity than a halogen has, especially the lighter halogens, fluorine and chlorine. Therefore, you will get a weaker bond between hydrogen and any metal, than you would get with a halogen and a metal. But hydrogen reacts more energetically with oxygen, than halogens do. There are many types of compounds in which hydrogen and a halogen, typically chlorine, can fit into a molecule in the same way. You can take a methane molecule, CH4, and replace any or all of the hydrogen atoms with chlorine atoms. However the chemical properties of methane are noticeably different from those of carbon tetrachloride. For example, methane is a gas and carbon tetrachloride is a liquid.
