Arrange the following: LiH, NaH and CsH...

Arrange the following:
LiH, NaH and CsH in order of increasing ionic character.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The electronegativity of the alkali metals decreases down the group from Li to Cs. Therefore, the ionic character of their hydrides also increases in the same order, i.e., LiH `lt` NaH `lt` CsH.
