Question

chemical properties of hydrides
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Typically covalent hydrides have low melting and boiling points. Since the compounds bound to hydrogen are more electronegative than hydrogen these compounds are more likely to react forming a hydrogen cation (a hydrogen with a positive charge) instead of the hydrogen anion that ionic hydrides form.
