Question

Which has more electrical conductivity whether the metallic hydrides or its corresponding parent metals ?

Answer 1

• Metallic hydrides has more electrical conductivity than its correponding parent metals as they are good conductors of electricity. Most of these hydrides are harder than parent metals.

• Metal hydrides are good conductor of heat and electricity in molten state.

• Metal hydrides had similar property of metals such as Hardness Metallic lustre Electrical conductivity Magnetic property.

• Metallic hydrides are non-stiochiometric hydrides. So they are deficient of hydrogen and conduct electricity, hence they conduct electricity more than its parent metal does.
