Can hydrogen be regarded as gaseous alkali metal?

From the point of electronic configuration, both H and alkali metals have 1 electrons in the ns orbit, which is similar to some extent, so they belong to the IA family. But from another angle, H, like halogen, is only 1 electrons away from the whole shell. Why not say they are similar? Therefore, it is best to treat H as a separate category, which is different from anyone else.

The "explosion" of alkali metals is not the same as the "explosion" of hydrogen.

The explosion of hydrogen is the explosion of combustible gas, which is of the same sex.

The explosion of alkali metal is not the same as the explosion of hydrogen, nor is it an explosion caused by the reaction of hydrogen and water to release hydrogen.

The explosion of alkali metal is the explosion of alkali metal itself, belonging to Coulomb explosion.

Firstly, it is concluded that the positively charged alkali metal ions become very unstable because alkali metal atoms lose electrons quickly when they meet water, and they have reached the limit of electric repulsion and scattered around before generating a lot of heat or hydrogen.

In the past, the explanation for the violent explosion of alkali metals and water was this.

When alkali metal meets water, it will generate hydroxide and hydrogen, which is a violent exothermic reaction, so it will ignite hydrogen and lead to fire and explosion. However, this theory cannot explain the severity of the reaction between alkali metals and water, and the contradiction that the generated hydroxide and steam hydrogen cannot stop the reaction.

In fact, through the observation of high-speed camera, it can be seen that the metal droplets fly away just after touching water for less than one millisecond, but it is impossible to generate enough heat and hydrogen in such a short time, so the previous explanation is problematic. Further research and computer simulation show that positively charged alkali metal ion groups become very unstable due to the rapid loss of electrons when alkali metal atoms meet water, and they have reached the limit of electric repulsion and dispersed around before generating a lot of heat or hydrogen.
