The alkali metals form salt like hydrides by the direct synthesis at elevated temperature. The termal stability of these hydrides decreases in which of the following orders ?A. `KH gt NaH gt LiH gt CsH gt RbH`B. `NaH gt LiH gt KH gt RbH gt CsH`C. `LiH gt NaH gt KH gt RbH gt CsH`D. `CsH gt RbH gt KH gt NaH gt LiH`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The tendency to form their hydrides, basic character and stability decreases from `Li` to `Cs` since the electropositive character decreases fro `Cs` to `Li`.
