Question

What is covalent hydridas

Answer 1

Covalent hydrides are primarily compounds of hydrogen and nonmetals, in which the bonds are evidently electron pairs shared by atoms of comparable electronegativities. ... Ionic hydrogen species of both boron (BH4−) and aluminum (AlH4−) are extensively used as hydridesources.

Hydride. In chemistry, a hydride is the anion of hydrogen, H−, or, more commonly, it is a compound in which one or more hydrogen centres have nucleophilic, reducing, or basic properties in it. In compounds that are regarded as hydrides, the hydrogen atom is bonded to a more electropositive element or groups.
