Question

The present position of hydrogen in the modern periodic table completely justifiable.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Hydrogen has an electronic configuration of $1s^1$. So, it can accept one electron to complete its' outermost orbital which resembles to group $17$ of the periodic table.

Also, it has only one electron in the outermost orbit which is shown by the elements in group 1. Therefore, the present position of hydrogen in the modern periodic table is not completely justified.

So the answer is False.
