Hydrogen gas is not evolved when a metal reacts with nitric acid. It is because HNO3 is a strong oxidising agent. It oxidises the H2 produced to water and itself gets reduced to any of the nitrogen oxides (N2O, NO, NO2).

Answer:
because nitric acid is a very strong oxidising agent and it performs oxidation which means addition of oxygen and removal of hydrogen so metals doesn't release H2 with HNO3
