Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The hydrogen exhibits three types of bonding in its compounds is to be described.
Concept Introduction:
The hydrogen bond involves interaction between partial positive-charged hydrogen atoms and more electronegative atoms.
The electronegative atoms could be nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and adjacent atoms that contain a lone pair of electrons.
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.
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, which means hydrogen atom is combined to the metal.
