hydrides

Hydrogen-bonded metal compounds

Hydrides are chemical compounds in which hydrogen is bonded to another element.

The term covers a wide range: metal hydrides like sodium hydride, covalent hydrides like water and ammonia, and complex hydrides used in organic chemistry as reducing agents.

Lithium aluminum hydride is a powerful hydride commonly used in synthesis.
