Hydrogen forms a neutral oxide, i.e., \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} (water) while the oxides of halogens are acidic in nature.
Hydrogen shows electropositive nature while halogens are electronegative in nature.
On combination with alkali metals, Hydrogen forms uninegative ion H– and halogens also uninegative ion form X–. Hydrogen also exists in diatomic form as halogens do.
