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 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.
