Among `CaH_2, NH_3, NaH` and `B_2H_6` which are covalent hydrides?

A

`NH_(3)` and `B_(2)H_(6)`

B

`NaH` and `CaH`

C

`NaH` and `NH_(3)`

D

`CaH_(2)` and `B_(2)H_(6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`N` and `B` belong to `p-`block and since the electronegativity differences between these elements and `H` is very less, they form covalent hydrates.
