Question

Hydrogen is placed along with Alkali metals in the modern 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​

Answer 1

Answer:

b) as Hydrogen can easily lose one electron like alkali metals to form

Answer 2

Answer:

because it has only one atom in its outermost shell that why it is placed above alkali metals the alkali metals are those which have only one electron in their valency shell and in the modern periodic table elements are arranged in in order of their electronic configuration so the electronic configuration of hydrogen is one so it is placed above alkali metals
