The ionization energy of hydrogen is too high for a group of alkali metals and too low for the halogen group.
Hydrogen atom does not contain any neutron.
Hydrogen is much lighter than alkali metals or halogens.
Hydrogen can form compounds with almost all other elements.
Ionisation energy of hydrogen is which is too high than that of alkali metals and low than that of halogens.
