The alkali metals form salt like hydrides by the direct synthesis at elevated temperature. The termal stability of these hydrides decreases in which of the following orders ?

A

`KH gt NaH gt LiH gt CsH gt RbH`

B

`NaH gt LiH gt KH gt RbH gt CsH`

C

`LiH gt NaH gt KH gt RbH gt CsH`

D

`CsH gt RbH gt KH gt NaH gt LiH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The tendency to form their hydrides, basic character and stability decreases from `Li` to `Cs` since the electropositive character decreases fro `Cs` to `Li`.
