Hydrogen is termed as a rogue element in the periodic table as it behaves like alkali metal, have one valence electron and can form halides and also have properties of halogens also, gives H- when gains an electrons. Hence, its postion is not fixed in the periodic table and is therefore termed as rogue element in the periodic table.
