WHAT IS sodium hydride?

Sodium Hydride is a strong base/alkali. It is an inorganic salt comprising of positively charged sodium ions, and negatively charged hydride (hydrogen) ions: Na+H-. It is a good source of the uncommon hydride ion. (NB Sodium hydride, NaH, is different to Sodium HYDROXIDE, NaOH, which is common table salt.)

What is the name of this compound NaH?

sodium hydride

What would adding sodium hydride to ethanol produce?

Adding sodium hydride to ethanol would produce sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas. Sodium hydride is a strong base and will react with ethanol to form the ethoxide salt and release hydrogen gas as a byproduct.

NaH covalent hydride or not?

Sodium hydride is an ionic compound.

What is hydrogen plus sodium?

When hydrogen reacts with sodium, it forms hydrogen gas and sodium hydride. The chemical equation for this reaction is 2Na + 2H2 -> 2NaH. Sodium hydride is a white solid that is highly reactive with water.

What does hydrogen and sodium make?

Hydrogen and sodium can make sodium hydride, NaH.

What is the compound if the elements are sodium and hydrogen?

Sodium Hydride

Is NAH a covalent hydride?

No, NAH is not a covalent hydride. It is a salt composed of sodium (Na+) and hydride (H-) ions. Covalent hydrides involve sharing of electrons between atoms, while ionic hydrides, like NAH, involve transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

What is the formula of the hydride formed by sulfur?

A hydride is hydrogen anion (a negative ion), written as H- A few examples of hydrides are Sodium hydride, NaH Calcium hydride, CaH2 Sodium borohydride, NaBH4 Lithium aluminum hydride, LiAlH4

What is the difference between sodium chloride and sodium hydrogen?

Sodium chloride is NaCl; if you think to sodium hydride this is NaH.

What is the the ionic compound for sodium hydride?

The ionic compound for sodium hydride is NaH. In this compound, sodium (Na) donates one electron to form a cation with a +1 charge, and hydrogen (H) accepts this electron to form an anion with a -1 charge. The resulting ionic compound is held together by electrostatic forces of attraction between the positively charged sodium ion and the negatively charged hydride ion.

What temperature does sodium hydride decompose at?

Melting and decomposition at about 800 0C.
