Question

9.13 Explain ionic hydrides.
​

Answer 1

Ionic hydrides are commonly known as saline hydrides or pseudohalides. These compounds form between hydrogen and the most active metals, especially with the alkali and alkaline-earth metals of group one and two elements. In this group, the hydrogen acts as the hydride ion (H−).

Answer 2

Hi friend

Ionic hydrides:- These are also called saline hydrides

These are formed between most active metal and hydrogen

They bond with more electropositive metal atoms.

Ionic hydrides are usually binary compounds (i.e., only two elements in the compound) and are also insoluble in solutions.

Now I hope you can form your own examples, but common examples are Sodium Hydride (NaH), Lithium hydride (LiH), Potassium hydride (KH)
