The quality that differentiates hydrogen (H) from the other elements in group 1, the alkali metals, is **"It is a non-metal."**
While hydrogen can exhibit some reactivity similar to alkali metals, it is distinctively a non-metal, whereas all other elements in group 1 (lithium, sodium, potassium, etc.) are metals.
