Hydride Chemical

CAS No     7784-21-6

Application / Uses Preparation
Aluminium hydride is an inorganic compound with the formula AlH3. It is a colourless solid that is pyrophoric. Although rarely encountered outside of research laboratory, alane and its derivatives are used as reducing agents in organic synthesis.

CAS No      7789-78-8

Application / Uses Preparation
Calcium hydride is the chemical compound with the formula CaH2. This grey powder (white if pure, which is rare) reacts vigorously with water liberating hydrogen gas. CaH2 is thus used as a drying agent, i.e. a desiccant.

CAS No  7693-26-7

Application / Uses Preparation
Potassium hydride, KH, is a chemical compound of potassium and hydrogen. It is a hydride of potassium. It reacts with water according to the reaction

CAS No     7646-69-7

Application / Uses Preparation
Sodium hydride is the chemical compound with the empirical formula NaH. It is primarily used as a strong base in organic synthesis. NaH is representative of the saline hydrides, meaning it is a salt-like hydride, composed of Na+ and H− ions, in contrast to the more molecular hydrides such as borane, methane, ammonia and water.
