MCQ
Saline hydrides:
- ✓are dehydrating agents
- Bare formed by transition metals
- Care very poor reducing agents
- Dare stable towards water and alcohol
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
are dehydrating agents
- are dehydrating agents
Saline hydrides are formed by alkali metals and alkaline earth metals (not transition metals). They are good reducing agents and are readily decomposed by water and alcohol to liberate hydrogen. They also act as powerful dehydrating agents.
