1.	It is correct to say that hydrogen can behave as metal? State the condition under which such behaviour is possible.
Answer» Solution :Metals are electropositive elements and when their compounds with non-metals (e.g. NaCl) are electrolysed these aredischarged at cathode. HYDROGEN can also behave similarly when combinedwith a highly electronegative element LIKE CHLORINE (e.g.HCl). When the ELECTROLYSIS of the molten acid is carried, hydrogen is also evolved at the cathode.
