Binary compounds of hydrogen are

anion.[1][2][3][4]
These hydrogen compounds can be grouped into several types.

Overview

Binary hydrogen compounds in

group 1
are the ionic hydrides (also called saline hydrides) wherein hydrogen is bound electrostatically. Because hydrogen is located somewhat centrally in an electronegative sense, it is necessary for the counterion to be exceptionally electropositive for the hydride to possibly be accurately described as truly behaving ionic. Therefore, this category of hydrides contains only a few members.

Hydrides in

group 2 are polymeric covalent hydrides. In these, hydrogen forms bridging covalent bonds, usually possessing mediocre degrees of ionic character, which make them difficult to be accurately described as either covalent or ionic. The one exception is beryllium hydride
, which has definitively covalent properties.

Hydrides in the

lanthanides are also typically polymeric covalent hydrides. However, they usually possess only weak degrees of ionic character. Usually, these hydrides rapidly decompose into their component elements at ambient conditions. The results consist of metallic matrices with dissolved, often stoichiometric or near so, concentrations of hydrogen, ranging from negligible to substantial. Such a solid can be thought of as a solid solution
and is alternately termed a metallic- or interstitial hydride. These decomposed solids are identifiable by their ability to conduct electricity and their magnetic properties (the presence of hydrogen is coupled with the delocalisation of the valence electrons of the metal), and their lowered density compared to the metal. Both the saline hydrides and the polymeric covalent hydrides typically react strongly with water and air.

It is possible to produce a metallic hydride without requiring decomposition as a necessary step. If a sample of bulk metal is subjected to any one of numerous hydrogen absorption techniques, the characteristics, such as luster and hardness of the metal is often retained to a large degree. Bulk

d-block elements are low. Therefore, elements in this block do not form hydrides (the hydride gap) under standard temperature and pressure with the notable exception of palladium.[5] Palladium can absorb up to 900 times its own volume of hydrogen and is therefore actively researched in the field hydrogen storage
.

Elements in group 13 to 17 (

thallium hydride
.

Due to the total number of possible binary saturated compounds with carbon of the type CnH2n+2 being very large, there are many group 14 hydrides. Going down the group the number of binary silicon compounds (silanes) is small (straight or branched but rarely cyclic) for example disilane and trisilane. For germanium only 5 linear chain binary compounds are known as gases or volatile liquids. Examples are n-pentagermane, isopentagermane and neopentagermane. Of tin only the distannane is known. Plumbane is an unstable gas.

The

.

Non-classical hydrides are those in which extra hydrogen molecules are coordinated as a ligand on the central atoms. These are very unstable but some have been shown to exist.

The periodic table of the stable binary hydrides

The relative stability of binary hydrogen compounds and alloys at standard temperature and pressure can be inferred from their standard enthalpy of formation values.[6]

Molecular hydrides

The isolation of monomeric molecular hydrides usually require extremely mild conditions, which are partial pressure and cryogenic temperature. The reason for this is threefold - firstly, most molecular hydrides are thermodynamically unstable toward decomposition into their elements; secondly, many molecular hydrides are also thermodynamically unstable toward polymerisation; and thirdly, most molecular hydrides are also kinetically unstable toward these types of reactions due to low activation energy barriers.

Instability toward decomposition is generally attributable to poor contribution from the orbitals of the heavier elements to the molecular bonding orbitals. Instability toward polymerisation is a consequence of the electron-deficiency of the monomers relative to the polymers. Relativistic effects play an important role in determining the energy levels of molecular orbitals formed by the heavier elements. As a consequence, these molecular hydrides are commonly less electron-deficient than otherwise expected. For example, based on its position in the 12th column of the periodic table alone, mercury(II) hydride would be expected to be rather deficient. However, it is in fact satiated, with the monomeric form being much more energetically favourable than any oligomeric form.

The table below shows the monomeric hydride for each element that is closest to, but not surpassing its heuristic valence. A heuristic valence is the valence of an element that strictly obeys the octet, duodectet, and sexdectet valence rules. Elements may be prevented from reaching their heuristic valence by various steric and electronic effects. In the case of chromium, for example, stearic hindrance ensures that both the octahedral and trigonal prismatic molecular geometries for CrH
6 are thermodynamically unstable to rearranging to a

Kubas complex
structural isomer.

Where available, both the enthalpy of formation for each monomer and the enthalpy of formation for the hydride in its standard state is shown (in brackets) to give a rough indication of which monomers tend to undergo aggregation to lower enthalpic states. For example, monomeric lithium hydride has an enthalpy of formation of 139 kJ mol−1, whereas solid lithium hydride has an enthalpy of −91 kJ mol−1. This means that it is energetically favourable for a mole of monomeric LiH to aggregate into the ionic solid, losing 230 kJ as a consequence. Aggregation can occur as a chemical association, such as polymerisation, or it can occur as an electrostatic association, such as the formation of hydrogen-bonding in water.

This table includes the thermally unstable dihydrogen complexes for the sake of completeness. As with the above table, only the complexes with the most complete valence is shown, to the negligence of the most stable complex.

Non-classical covalent hydrides

A molecular hydride may be able to bind to hydrogen molecules acting as a ligand. The complexes are termed non-classical covalent hydrides. These complexes contain more hydrogen than the classical covalent hydrides, but are only stable at very low temperatures. They may be isolated in inert gas matrix, or as a cryogenic gas. Others have only been predicted using computational chemistry.

Hydrogen solutions

Hydrogen has a highly variable solubility in the elements. When the continuous phase of the solution is a metal, it is called a metallic hydride or interstitial hydride, on account of the position of the hydrogen within the crystal structure of the metal. In solution, hydrogen can occur in either the atomic or molecular form. For some elements, when hydrogen content exceeds its solubility, the excess precipitates out as a stoichiometric compound. The table below shows the solubility of hydrogen in each element as a molar ratio at 25 °C (77 °F) and 100 kPa.
