NaH is an example of:
  1. (A)electron rich hydride
  2. (B)metallic hydride
  3. (C)saline hydride✓ Correct
  4. (D)molecular hydride

Answer: (C)

Solution

Sodium is strongly electropositive, so on combining with hydrogen it surrenders its electron and hydrogen is present as the hydride ion . An ionic, salt-like hydride of this sort formed by an -block metal is called a saline hydride, and is a textbook example.
