Hydrogen is in column 1 of the periodic table. What information does this give us? (2 points) There is one other element that hydrogen will bond with.

There is one neutron in the nucleus.

The mass of the atom is one.

There is one electron in the outer energy level.

Because hydrogen forms compounds with oxidation numbers of both +1 and -1, many periodic tables include this element in both Group IA (with Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr) and Group VIIA (with F, Cl, Br, I, and At).

There are many reasons for including hydrogen among the elements in Group IA. It forms compounds (such as HCl and HNO3) that are analogs of alkali metal compounds (such as NaCl and KNO3). Under conditions of very high pressure, it has the properties of a metal. (It has been argued, for example, that any hydrogen present at the center of the planet Jupiter is likely to be a metallic solid.) Finally, hydrogen combines with a handful of metals, such as scandium, titanium, chromium, nickel, or palladium, to form materials that behave as if they were alloys of two metals.

There are equally valid arguments for placing hydrogen in Group VIIA. It forms compounds (such as NaH and CaH2) that are analogs of halogen compounds (such as NaF and CaCl2). It also combines with other nonmetals to form covalent compounds (such as H2O, CH4, and NH3), the way a nonmetal should. Finally, the element is a gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, like other nonmetals (such as O2 and N2).

It is difficult to decide where hydrogen belongs in the periodic table because of the physical properties of the element. The first ionization energy of hydrogen (1312 kJ/mol), for example, is roughly halfway between the elements with the largest (2372 kJ/mol) and smallest (376 kJ/mol) ionization energies. Hydrogen also has an electronegativity (EN = 2.20) halfway between the extremes of the most electronegative (EN = 3.98) and least electronegative (EN = 0.7) elements. On the basis of electronegativity, it is tempting to classify hydrogen as a semimeta
