The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement about hydride is correct, we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hydride**: - A hydride refers to the ion H⁻, which is the hydrogen ion that has gained an extra electron. This gives it a negative charge. 2. **Analyzing Option 1**: - **Statement**: "It is Bronsted-Lowry base of H₂." - **Explanation**: According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, a base is a species that can accept protons (H⁺ ions). The hydride ion (H⁻) can accept a proton to form H₂ (hydrogen gas). Therefore, H⁻ is indeed the Bronsted-Lowry base of H₂. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. 3. **Analyzing Option 2**: - **Statement**: "It resembles halide." - **Explanation**: Halide ions (like F⁻, Cl⁻, etc.) are formed when halogens gain an electron. Similarly, hydrogen can gain an electron to form H⁻, which gives it a resemblance to halide ions. Both have a complete outer shell (noble gas configuration) after gaining an electron. - **Conclusion**: This statement is also correct. 4. **Analyzing Option 3**: - **Statement**: "It is isoelectronic with helium." - **Explanation**: The hydride ion (H⁻) has two electrons, while helium (He) also has two electrons. Isoelectronic species are those that have the same number of electrons. Therefore, H⁻ and He are isoelectronic. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct as well. 5. **Analyzing Option 4**: - **Statement**: "All of these." - **Explanation**: Since all the previous statements (1, 2, and 3) about hydride are correct, option 4, which states "all of these," is also correct. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Option 4: All of these**. ---
