why hydrogen shows a dual nature?

Hydrogen has a dual nature because it only has a single electron in its outer shell.
Hydrogen atom can easily gain an electron to create a full outer shell ,like a typical halogen, or loose an electron ,like an alkali metal.
hydrogen shows 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 its shows the properties of the group 1 of the periodic table and also of the group 17 or halogens and can be placed in both the groups...
that's the dual nature of hydrogen... hope it helps...

Answer:
Hydrogen has the simplest electronic configuration of one. In group 1 it loses one electron and in group 17 it gains one electron.
