Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and the third most abundant element on the surface of the globe. Hydrogen was discovered by Henry Cavendish and named by Lavoisier. Hydrogen is the first lightest and smallest, non-metallic element in the periodic table. Hydrogen has the same electronic configuration as alkali metals as it has only one valence electron. It is also electropositive in nature like these metals. Hydrogen is a good reducing agent like alkali metals. Hydrogen shows +1 oxidation state similar to alkali metals. Hydrogen also forms the cation H+ as M+ is formed by alkali metals by losing one electron. Hydrogen has a great affinity for non-metals and it combines with them to form a number of compounds like oxides and halides.
