Explanation:
Hydrogen is both electronegative and electropositive element. It is electronegative element when it combines with elements of group 1 and 2. It easily takes up an electron from these metals. It combines with group 16 and 17 elements by losing its electron and forming an H+ ion and thus is electropositive.

Answer:
Hydrogen is both electropositive and electronegative element.
Explanation:
Like alkali metals hydrogen has tendency to lose its one valency electron to form unipositive ion.
So it is electropositive .
Like halogens hydrogen has tendency to gain one electron and form uninegative ion.
So it is electronegative.
