Question

Why does hydrogen show dual nature??

Answer 1

Hydrogen show dual nature as it has only 1 electron in its K-shell i.e the outermost shell,hence it has the ability to take electron(like halogens)or lend 1 electron(like alkali metals)thus it shows the propert.

Answer 2

Hydrogen is a highly reactive element.  

Explanation:

• Hydrogen shows dual behavior because it has a single electron in its valence shell.
• It can share its one electron with other metal or non-metal element like alkali metals belonging to the group 1 elements of the periodic table and it can gain when one electron to complete its valency of 2 like halogens belonging to group 7.
