Question

All metals form hydrides with hydrogen.
State whether the given statement is true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Compounds containing hydrogen bonded to metals or metalloid may also be referred to as hydrides, even though in this case the hydrogen centers can have a protic character. Almost all of the elements form a binary compound with hydrogen, the exceptions being $He,Ne,Ar,Kr,Pm,Os,Ir,Rn,Fr$ and $Ra$. Hence all metals form hydrides with hydrogen. Given statement is true.
