periodic table though it shows non-metallic character.
a) as Hydrogen has one electron & readily loses electron to form negative ion.
b)as Hydrogen can easily lose one electron like alkali metals to form positive ion.
c) as Hydrogen can gain one electron easily like Halogens
to form negative ion.
d) as Hydrogen shows the properties of non-metals.​
