what are aluminium hydride and hydrides of carbon ?
Answers
Aluminium hydride (also known as alane or alumane) is an inorganic compound with the formula AlH3. It presents as a white solid and may be tinted grey with decreasing particle size and impurity levels. Depending upon synthesis conditions, the surface of the alane may be passivated with a thin layer of aluminum oxide and/or hydroxide. Alane and its derivatives are used as reducing agents in
Explanation:
Aluminium Hydride :-
Chemical formula :-
Aluminium hydride is actually obtained by the interaction of 100% in THF
:—:
◾This white hydride is thermally unstable.
◾ it is Donor ligands.
:—
Carbon atom has high catenation power.
◾ it can form a long number of chain by combining with itself.
◾Carbon shows catenation.
Carbon forms of vast number of Chain and ring compounds with all these:-
- Alkanes Also known as Paraffins
- Alkenes also known as olefines
- Alkynes also known as Acetylenes
- Aromatic compounds.
