hydride
Electropositive element's hydrogen
A hydride is a compound of hydrogen with another element, especially a metal.
In chemistry, hydrides range from ionic compounds like sodium hydride (used as a reducing agent) to covalent molecules like water.
Metal hydrides are studied for hydrogen storage applications: The battery uses a nickel metal hydride.
