Metal hydrides are ionic, covalent or molecular in nature. Among LiH, NaH, KH, RbH, CsH the correct order of increasing ionic character is

Assertion :- Oxidation state of Hydrogen is +1 in H_(2)O while -1 in CaH_(2) . Reason :- CaH_(2) is a metal hydride and for metal hydrides, hydrogen is assigned the oxidation number of -1 .

Hydrides|| Ionic/Salt-like/Saline Hydride|| Interstitial/Metallic Hydride|| Covalent/Molecular Hydride|| Electron Deficient Hydride|| Electron Precise Hydride||Electron Rich Hydride

Assertion :- Fire in reaction between saline hydride and water can not be extinguished by CO_(2) . Reason :- CO_(2) gets reduced by metal hydride.

Assertion (A): Alkali metals can form ionic hydrides which contain hydride ion, H. Reason (R ): The alkali metals have low EN. Their hydrides conduct electricity, when fused and liberate hydrogen at the anode.
