aciditc strength of hydride is directly proportional to bond length,then in case of metalic hydride how it's inversely proportional to bond length?
Answers
In acidic hydride
bond length α bond length
The main ability of the acid is to produce H⁺ faster and in an easy way. So, when the bond length is more, then the energy required to break the bond will be very less, so, it produces H⁺ pretty quickly
In case of metal hydrides, metal-hydrogen bonds may be either hydridic (nucleophilic) or acidic (electrophilic). Since most of the metals are of electron- giving nature, the hydrides are more basic than acidic. Also, when the hydrogen leaves the metal, it has a negative charge produced over it
So, in this, if the bond length between the metal and hydrogen is larger, then the metal donates electron to the hydrogen, the hydrogen is nucleophilic (contains negative charge)
