Answer» The available information suggests the cyrstalline solid is sodium hydride (NaH), It is nont volatile due to its crystalline nature and does not conduct electricity in the solid state. `NaH(s)+H_(2)O(aq) to NaOH(aq)+H_(2)(g)` Upon electrolysis , the melt (molten metal hydride) will conduct electricity. `underset("Melt")(NaH(l)) overset("Electrolysis")to underset("Cathode")(Na^(+))+underset("anode")(H^(-))` At cathode: `Na^(+)+e^(-) to Na, "At anode": H^(-) overset(-e)to H or 1//2 H_(2)`.
