Hydrogen is a reactive gas under normal conditions.Based on this property alone, to which group of the periodic table should hydrogen belong?why?
Even though Hydrogen is originally in group 1, based on this property, we can say it is in group 6.
Because:
Group 6 would mean that it only needs 2 more valence electrons till the octet (8 valence electrons). This would make it reactive, yet, in normal conditions, unlike group 7.
Even if hydrogen is in 1 group originally you can still say it is in 6 groups.
