Based on its electron structure, infer the reason hydrogen can be included with both the alkali metals and the halogens. Provide examples of compounds that it forms in both these roles. in both the both the aikai metala

A hydrogen atom is composed of a proton (including a neutron) and electron. In chemical reaction with Hydrogen, the atom can easily gain or lose its only electron in its 1s orbital shell to achieve stable electron configuration.

It can behave like alkali metals when it loses its valence electron in its outermost orbital shell in a reaction. An example is just like metals, it can react with non-metals like chlorine (to form HCl).

Hydrogen can also act as a non-metal and gain an electron in its outermost valence shell to achieve stable electron configuration of 1s². This way it can behave like a halogen. It can react with metals such as Sodium to form a NaH (Sodium Hydride).
