Answer:
The answer given by pranav is correct but something is missing.
Explanation:
this is because grp 1 elements has a property to lose one electron and grp 17 has to gain one electron. But in case of hydrogen. it can do both as if it loses 1 it will lose existence and if it gains one it will form either hydride or helium
