Justify the position of Hydrogen in the periodic table.

1.	Justify the position of Hydrogen in the periodic table.
Answer» Solution :Hydrogen has been placed at the TOP of the alkali metals family. Hydrogen and alkali metals resemble in the following ASPECTS. 1. Electronic configuratin: Hydrogen has one electron in its VALANCE shell like the alkali metals `H-1s^(1)`. 2. ELECTROPOSITIVE character: As both hydrogen and alkali metals form monovalent cations by losing the electron in the valance shell. `HtoH^(+)+e^(-)`
