Question

1. Explain the following
A. Hydrogen shows similarity with alkali
metals as well as halogens.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Hydrogen Shows similarity with halogen and alkali metal group in the following ways :-
• Hydrogen have 1 electron in its outermost cell which hydrogen loose or gain to complete it's near Nobel Gas(Hillium) configuration and become stable .So it is in group 1 (alkali metal ) having tendency to loose a electron and group 17 (halogen family) having tendency to gain a electron .

• The hydrogen form Alkali metal(NaH,kH etc) hydride as well as halogen hydride(HCl ,HF etc) too .

Answer 2

Answer:

hey mate here is your answer......

Hydrogen shows similarity with alkali metals as well as halogens because of its electronic configuration , physical and chemical property. ...

Thus Hydrogen has only 1 valence electron in its outer most orbit which is similar to the electronic configuration of alkali metals.

hope it's helpful for you...
