The configuration for hydrogen is 1S1.
The configuration for Li is 1S2 2S1.
The configuration for F is 1S2, 2S2, 2P5.
What all of these have in common is that they have one electron missing to complete their outer most shell. As a result, they exhibit similar properties when it comes to reacting with other chemicals.

Hydrogen Electron Configuration

Hydrogen as an atom has one electron . It can either give away that electron like a Li, or it can take an electron to fill its outer ring like fluorine. If it gives one away it becomes a positive ion. If it takes one it becomes a negative ion.

Single electron in the outermost shell.

Hi. I have to guess that the electron shell of each is not "satisfied" making them reactive.
