Question

Chemical properties of Hydrides?​

Answer 1

A combination of any element with hydrogen is called a hydride. Since hydrogen is such a common component of many materials we can see hydrides everywhere. Water has an oxygen-hydrogen bond, so it is a hydride. Your food will always have carbon-hydrogen bonds, so it is a hydride.

Answer 2

Answer:

Properties of hydrides of Group II:

• BeH2 and MgH2 are electron deficient covalent compounds. They hav polymeric structure due to electron deficiency.

• CaH2 and SrH2 are ionic in nature.

• Hydrides of alkaline earth metals react with water to librate hydrogen gas. So, they actions as reducing agents.
