Chemistry - Hydrogen and Its compound Question with Solution | TestHub

Hydrogen exhibits similarities with halogens in several ways:

1. It forms uninegative ions (H⁻), similar to halogens (e.g., Cl⁻).

2. It requires only one electron to achieve a stable duplet configuration, analogous to halogens needing one electron for a stable octet.

3. It exists as a diatomic molecule (H₂), like halogens (e.g., Cl₂, Br₂).

Therefore, all the given options describe similarities of hydrogen with halogens.

The final answer is D .
