Hydrogen

Question

Which of the following hydrogen compounds is most ionic ?

Easy

A

LiH
B

CsH
C

HF
D

HI

Solution

IA group metal hydrrides are [ionic in nature] called ionic hydrides, Those are

$\large Ionic\;character:\;\xrightarrow{{LiH\; < \;NaH\; < \;KH\; < \;RbH\; < \;CsH}}$

As the metallic nature of central metal increases ionic nature of hydride increases
Therefore easy of ionisation of M-H bond increases and hence most ionic is CsH
→ Whereas HF,HCl,HBr, HI are covalent hydrides.
