Under standard conditions, hydrogen is a non-metal (H2 gas,) but chemically, it can actually behave like a metal. Often, it bonds with other non-metals in the same proportion as other group 1 elements, all of which (except hydrogen) are alkali metals. It can also bond with metals as a hydride, where it acts more like a non-metal. Acids can lose a hydrogen ion, which has a charge of +1, just like many metals. Finally, under extreme pressure, hydrogen can actually become a metallic liquid; it is theorized that Jupiter's core is composed of liquid metallic hydrogen.

Why is hydrogen the most often considered a non-metallic element?

Hydrogen is considered a non-metallic element because it does not possess the typical properties of metals, such as high electrical conductivity and luster. It is a diatomic gas at room temperature and does not exhibit metallic bonding characteristics.

Is H plus a non metallic ion?

No. Hydrogen has only one electron. Now, H+ means it lost an electron and since it had only one electron initially, as a H+ ion, it doesn't have any electron at all. It has only one proton. Also, the positive charge on H i.e., H+ indicates that it is a positively charged ion which means it is not a non-metallic ion. Non-metallic ions generally have a negative charge as they gain electrons to become an ion.
