I'd classify it as a non-status alien because it doesn't have a green card.

1H is the most common hydrogen isotope with an abundance of more than 99.98%. Because the nucleus of this isotope consists of only a single proton, it is given the descriptive but rarely used formal name PROTIUM.

2H, the other stable hydrogen isotope, is known as DEUTERIUM and contains one proton and one neutron in its nucleus. Deuterium comprises 0.0026–0.0184% of all hydrogen on Earth. Water enriched in molecules that include deuterium instead of normal hydrogen is called heavy water. Deuterium is used in nuclear fusion reactions, as a radiolabel in biochemistry, and as a solvent in 1H-NMR spectroscopy.

3H is known as TRITIUM and contains one proton and two neutrons in its nucleus. It is radioactive, decays through beta decay with a half-life of 12.32 years[5]. Small amounts of tritium occur naturally due to the interaction of cosmic rays with atmospheric gases; tritium has also been released during nuclear weapons tests. It is used in nuclear fusion reactions, as a tracer in isotope geochemistry, and specialized in self-powered lighting devices.

You mean what state? It's a gas on Earth. On Jupiter and Saturn under high pressure it can behave as a more solid material.

An element! The most abundant element in the universe.

ill classify it as an element. its molecular form is a diatomic molecule

i don't know what you mean, but hydrogen is just a proton.

non metal. it's how it acts. it's also diatomic
