In chemistry, a hydride is an anion of hydrogen. Hydride compounds contain hydrogens that are bonded to metalloids, metals, or other elements or groups that are more electropositive than the hydrogen.
Interstitial hydrides are sometimes referred to as metallic hydrides. This is because interstitial hydrides contain a hydrogen and either a lanthanide, actinide, or a transition metal from the d-block. The metal and hydrogen of an interstitial hydride are connected by a metallic bond. Interstitial hydrides...
In chemistry, a hydride is an anion of hydrogen. Hydride compounds contain hydrogens that are bonded to metalloids, metals, or other elements or groups that are more electropositive than the hydrogen.
Interstitial hydrides are sometimes referred to as metallic hydrides. This is because interstitial hydrides contain a hydrogen and either a lanthanide, actinide, or a transition metal from the d-block. The metal and hydrogen of an interstitial hydride are connected by a metallic bond. Interstitial hydrides have a general formula of MHx. Here, M refers to the metal to which the hydrogen anion is attached. The subscript “x” in the general formula of an interstitial hydride represents the number of hydrogen atoms that are present within the compound.
However, some claim that a general formula cannot be applied to an interstitial hydride. This is because interstitial hydrides make crystal lattices. The hydrogens are found between the “holes” of the metal atoms within an intestinal hydride crystal lattice. The hydrogens can fill differing numbers of these “holes” within the crystal lattice. Therefore, intestinal hydrides are considered to be nonstoichiometric compounds.
