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. `NaH gt LiH gt KH gt RbH gt CsH`B. `LiH gt NaH gt KH gt RbH gt CsH`C. `Csh gt RbH gt KH gt NaH gt LiH`D. `KH gt NaH gt LiH gt CsH gt RbH`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The ionic character of MH bond increases from Li to Cs in alkali metals. The corresponding thermal stability decreases. Therefore, the correct decreasing order is as given in option (b)
