Should hydrogen be classified as a member of group 1, group 17, or is it unique? explain your reasoning behind your choice.

Honestly, while Hydrogen appears to be in group 1, it really isn't. It is unique, and has no characteristics similar to others, especially to the alkali metals in group 1 and halogens in group 17.  

Hydrogen only shares one thing with alkali metals. It has one electron in the outermost shell, and has a valency of one. As far as halogens go, Hydrogen is a reducing agent, and halogens are known for being oxidizing agents.

So, I can say that more research needs to be done on Hydrogen. In the meantime, it is quite unique. Thanks!

the answer is: they rebelled against saddam hussein’s rule.

kurds opposed saddam rule and wanted independence. kurds in the north and shiites in the south revolt against hussein.

for example, the halabja attack in 1988 conducted against the kurdish people by the iraqi regime under saddam hussein, where between 4000 people are killed and around 9000 are injured.
