Hydrogen Metal Nonmetal Metalloids
Hydrogen has different properties, and it cannot be broken off by metals, non-metals or metalloids. It shows all kinds of characteristics under various circumstances.
In normal state, hydrogen is gas, light in weight, strong in flammability, and seems to have the characteristics of non-metals. It can combine with oxidation to generate water, which is a typical non-metallic reaction.
However, in the state of extreme high pressure, hydrogen is metallic. Electrons can travel freely in it, and it has good conductivity, just like metals.
Therefore, hydrogen cannot be confined to the category of traditional metals, non-metals or metalloids. Its properties change with the environment, and it is actually a unique material.
