Hydrides contain either anions of the formula H-1 or covalent bonds in which hydrogen is the more electronegative element. "Hydride" is derived from hydrogen in the same pattern as "oxide" is derived from oxygen, by changing the ending of an element name to "ide" for an anion of the element, or by extension for a covalent bond in which the element is more electronegative than the atom to which the element is bonded.
