Actually it resembles the property of both alkali metals as well as halogens... So it can't be said to which group it belongs...

Hope this helps you... ☺️

ayushnishad16p6m8n9: but it shows properties of more halogens than alkali metal

Som142004: yeah but it is not. Hydrogen is a nonmetal and is placed above group in the periodic table because it has ns1electron configuration like the alkali metals. However, it varies greatly from the alkali metalsas it forms cations (H+) more reluctantly than the other alkali metals.

Anonymous: yeah... it forms H+ ions which is the characteristics property of alkali metals

Som142004: yep

ayushnishad16p6m8n9: ok
