H - 1s1 ; He - 1s2 Halogen, X - ns2 np5 ; Inert gas - ns2np6 Both have one electron less than the nearest noble gas configuration.

Q. In what respect electronic configuration of hydrogen and halogens are similar?

Hydrogen and halogens have one electron in their outermost shell

Hydrogen and halogens have one electron less than the noble gas configuration

Hydrogen and halogens can lose one electron to form positive ions

Hydrogen and halogens show noble gas configuration

$H - 1 s^{1}$ ; $He - 1 s^{2}$
Halogen, $X - n s^{2} n p^{5}$ ; Inert gas $- n s^{2} n p^{6}$
Both have one electron less than the nearest noble gas configuration.

Hydrogen and halogens show noble gas configuration

H−1s1 ; He−1s2 Halogen, X−ns2np5 ; Inert gas −ns2np6 Both have one electron less than the nearest noble gas configuration.

$H - 1 s^{1}$ ; $He - 1 s^{2}$
Halogen, $X - n s^{2} n p^{5}$ ; Inert gas $- n s^{2} n p^{6}$
Both have one electron less than the nearest noble gas configuration.
