Question

Hydrogen reacts with strong metals to form metal hydrides.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Hydrogen reacts with some active metals like sodium and calcium when heated and forms metal hydrides.

$$\begin{gathered} 1){\mathrm{H}}_2+2\mathrm{Na}\to 2\mathrm{NaH} \\ 2){\mathrm{H}}_2+2\mathrm{Ca}\to {\mathrm{CaH}}_2 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore the given statement is true ie., hydrogen reacts with strong metals to form metal hydrides.
