Question 3
Metal hydrides are ionic, covalent or molecular in nature. Among LiH,NaH, KH,RbH,CsH, the correct order of increasing ionic charcter is
(a) LiH > NaH > CsH > KH > RbH
(b) LiH < NaH < KH < RbH < CsH
(c) RbH > CsH > NaH > KH > LiH
(d) NaH > CsH > RbH > LiH > KH
Match the following
A) Thermal stability order of hydrides 1) Na > K >Rb> Li > Cs
B) Ionic nature of hydrides 2) Li > Na > K >Rb> Cs
C) I.P2 values order 3) CsH>RbH> KH >NaH>LiH
D) Abundance decreasing order 4) LiH>NaH> KH >RbH>CsH
