HLi
HLi, also known as lithium hydride, is a chemical compound with the formula LiH. It is an inorganic ionic solid characterized by its white crystalline appearance and high reactivity. Lithium hydride is primarily used as a reducing agent in various chemical reactions and as a neutron moderator in nuclear reactors due to its ability to slow down neutrons effectively.
Chemically, lithium hydride consists of lithium cations (Li⁺) and hydride anions (H⁻), forming an ionic lattice.
Lithium hydride has a melting point of approximately 680 degrees Celsius and remains stable at high temperatures
In laboratory settings, lithium hydride is used to introduce hydride ions in synthesis and as a dehydrating
Although not widely employed in commercial applications outside of specialized fields, lithium hydride plays a significant
