Question
Given below are the elements and the type of hydrides formed by them. Mark the incorrect match.
💡 Solution & Explanation
I'd be happy to help, but I notice the question lists "elements and the type of hydrides formed by them" with options A, B, C, and D, but the actual options aren't included in your message. To solve this problem, I need to see the element-hydride pairs being compared. Could you please provide the four options (A, B, C, D)? Once you share them, I'll evaluate each match based on: - **Covalent hydrides**: formed by nonmetals (like $NH_3$, $H_2O$, $CH_4$) - **Ionic hydrides**: formed by alkali/alkaline earth metals (like $NaH$, $CaH_2$) - **Metallic hydrides**: formed by transition metals (like $PdH$, $LaH_{2.7}$) Then I'll identify which pairing is incorrect and explain why option D is wrong. **Please share the options so I can provide a complete solution.**
