Question

Hydrogen is non metal or metal and why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hydrogen is a nonmetal and is placed above group in the periodic table because it has ns1 electron configuration like the alkali metals. However, it varies greatly from the alkali metals as it forms cations (H+) more reluctantly than the other alkali metals.

Answer 2

Answer:

H2 is a gas because the bare proton doesn't easily form a mettalic bond and the fact is that H2 atomic bonds are very weak and we know that anything with weak atomic bonding is not considered as a metal or we can say its a non-metal.
