Question

Write the name of any two electrons rich hydrides

Answer 1

Answer:

Electron –rich hydrides, as the name suggest, are compounds of hydrogen with other elements that have excess electrons present as lone-pairs. For example ammonia –NH3 is a hydride of nitrogen that has one lone pair, water (H2O) is a hydride of oxygen that has two lone pairs etc.

Answer 2

NH3 and H2O are examples of electron-rich hydrides. Electron-rich hydrides are a combination of hydrogen.

• Electron-rich hydrides are molecules that tend to accept electrons.
• Group 15,16,17 in the periodic table can produce electron-rich hydrides.
• Having more electrons than required for bonding is called electron-rich hydrides.
• A negative electric charge particle is called an electron.
