Hydrides of elements of group 3 to 5 are generally called

Which element of group 14 forms only one hydride ?

Assertion (A) : The hydrides of VA group elements are good reducing Agents Reason (R) : NH_(3) is a weak reducing Agent among the hydrides of VA group

Assertion : Hydrides of group 13 elements are Lewis acids whereas hydrides of group 15-17 elements are Lewis bases. Reason : Group 13 hydrides have few electrons whereas group 15-17 hydrides have excess electrons which are present as lone pairs.

Hydrogen reacts with different elements to from variety of hydrides. Group 1 and 2 elements form white crystalline, ionic hydrides.Their stability depends upon ionic character and lattice energy. Convalent hydrides are most common type of hydrides. Transition metals form interstitial hydrides. Which element form hydride ?
