Decomposition temperatures of saline hyd...

Decomposition temperatures of saline hydrides are very high. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Cations of group1 and 2 form saline hydrides. Size of these cations is less. Lattice energy of the hydride is high. Hence the decomposition temperature is also high.
