Hydrogen can gain or lose electron so it comes under both category.

ELECTRONEGATIVITY

• Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a covalent bond.
• Non-metals are more Electronegative.

ELECTROPOSITIVITY

• Electropositivity is the ability of an atom to withdraw a shared pair of electrons in its combined state.
• Metals are more Electropositive.
