The quality that differentiates hydrogen (H) from the other elements in group 1, the alkali metals, is that **it is a non-metal**.
While alkali metals are all metals and typically exhibit similar properties such as high reactivity and the presence of one valence electron, hydrogen is a non-metal and does not share these metallic characteristics.
