Interpretation:
The physical and chemical properties of hydrides are to be compared for the given elements.
Concept Introduction:
All those compounds that contain an element linked to hydrogen atom, in which hydrogen is considered a more electronegative species, are known as binary hydrides.
Hydrides could be ionic, covalent, or interstitial.
Ionic hydrides are the hydrides in which a hydrogen atom is linked directly with an alkali metal.
Covalent hydrides are the hydridesin which a hydrogen atom is bonded to the atom of another element covalently.
Interstitial hydrides are the hydridesin which a hydrogen atom and a metal are found in constant ratio that means hydrogen atom is combined to the metal.
