Answer»
  • The hydrogen compounds such as sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH4) are commonly used as reducing agents in organic chemistry. 
  • Hydrides such as sodium hydride (NaH) and potassium hydride (KH) are used as strong bases in organic synthesis.
  • Calcium hydride is used as desiccant to remove moisture from organic solvents. 
  • Hydride complexes are catalysts. 
  • Atomic hydrogen and oxy-hydrogen torches for cutting and welding.
  • Hydrogen is used in fuel cells for generating electrical energy. 
  • Liquid hydrogen is used as a rocket fuel as well as in space research.
  • Metallic hydrides are used in battery applications.
