Chemistry Question on hydrides
The various types of hydrides and examples of each type are given below : Choose the correct matching from the codes given below :
(A) - (ii), (B) - (iv), (C) - (v), (D) - (iii), (E) - (i)
(A) - (iv), (B) - (i), (C) - (ii), (D) - (v), (E) - (iii)
(A) - (iv), (B) - (iii), (C) - (v), (D) - (ii), (E) - (i)
(A) - (v), (B) - (iii), (C) - (iv), (D) - (ii), (E) - (i)
(A) - (iv), (B) - (i), (C) - (ii), (D) - (v), (E) - (iii)
Solution
(A) Electron deficient →B2H6
(∵ It has 3c−2e structure, which shows that B-atom has electron deficient centre).
(B) Saline → LiH is called saline.
(C) Electron precise →CH4
(∵ It has perfect complete octet for C -atom ).
(D) Interstitial →CrH Here, hydrogen atoms are trapped in the interstitial sites of crystal of Cr.
(E) Electron rich →N∙∙H3, because nitrogen has lone pair of electrons in its outermost shell.
Hence, correct order is (A)- (iv), (B)- (i), (c)- (ii),(D)- (v), (E)- (iii)
