Group 1 metals, also known as alkali metals, include elements such as lithium, sodium, and potassium. These metals are shiny, silvery in appearance, and are soft enough to be easily cut with a knife. They are highly reactive and typically stored under oil to prevent them from reacting with air or moisture.

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.
