Why is hydrogen placed in the reactivity series of metals?
Although it is nonmetallic, hydrogen atoms do have some characteristics which make them behave like alkali metals in some chemical reactions.
Explanation:
Hydrogen has only 1 electron in its orbital, so its electronic structure closely resembles that of the other alkali metals, which have a single valence electron in a orbital.
It loses electron to form positive ion
It combines with non metals, which are electron attracting species.
It acts as strong reducing agent
Hope it is helpful if so plz mark as brainliest.

This is because like all the metals ,Hydrogen also losses electron and become positive ion . Hydrogen show similar characters like those of metals .
Hope ur doubt is cleared now. don't forget to thanks
