The increasing order of reducing property of `NaH, MgH_2` and `H_2O` is

A

`NaH lt H_(2)O lt MgH_(2)`

B

`MgH_(2) lt H_(2) O lt NaH`

C

`H_(2)O lt MgH_(2) lt NaH`

D

`NaH lt MgH_(2)lt H_(2)O`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Metal hydrides are stronger reducing agents than non-metal hydrides. Thus, `H_(2),O` is a weaker reducing agent and Nall due to more electropositive nature of Nais strongest reducing agent among the given. Thus, the correct order is `H_(2),O lt MgH_(2), lt NaH.`
