Vedclass · Answer

(C) Hydrogen resembles alkali metals in some properties such as electropositive character and forming $+1$ oxidation state compounds. However,hydrogen is a non-metal and its ionization enthalpy is much higher than that of alkali metals. Therefore,it does not act as a strong reducing agent like alkali metals. In covalent hydrides,hydrogen typically exhibits a $+1$ oxidation state (e.g.,$CH_4$,$NH_3$),whereas it shows a $-1$ oxidation state only in ionic (saline) hydrides (e.g.,$NaH$). Thus,statement $D$ is also incorrect in the context of covalent hydrides,but statement $C$ is the most fundamentally incorrect property compared to alkali metals.
