Hello,

The hydrogen has 1 atomic number and its valency is also 1.

Hydrogen forms one covalent bond and accepts only one electron in metal hydride, with oxidation number of +1 in compounds and -1 in metal hydride.

The valency of hydrogen is 1, it means hydrogen can either accept or donate one electron.

Hope this helps, all the best.
