Answer:

Hydrogen.

Step-by-step explanation:

The position of hydrogen was always controversial. It resembles both alkali metals and halogens.

However, it is placed with alkali metals in the periodic table in group 1.

The other elements are all metals and are able to give electrons easily so they form ionic bonds only.

While hydrogen can from covalent bond as it can share electrons.

Example : water.
