Verified by Experts

Two similarities of hydrogen with halogens are as follows :
i) Electronegative character : Hydrogen and halogens can gain one electron. Both can form monovalent anion.
For example,
`H^+ e^- to H^-` `Cl + e^(-) to Cl^-`
ii) Oxidation state : Both hydrogen and halogens show -1 oxidation state. For example, `Na^+ H^-` and `Na^+ F^-`.
