Explain with examples Polymeric hybrids.

Answer»

Polymeric hydrides: These are formed by elements having electro negativity in the range 1.40 – 2.0. These usually exist in the polymeric form in which the monomer molecules are held together in two or three dimensions by hydrogen bridges. Some common examples are : (BeH2)n, (AlH3)n, (InH3)n , (GaH3)n , (SpH4)n.

These are amorphous solids which decompose above 523 K to evolve H2 gas. 

Structure. Beryllium hydride exits in the polymeric form involving three center-two electron bonds.
