hydridijohdannaiset
Hydridijohdannaiset, known in English as hydride derivatives, refers to chemical compounds that contain the hydride ion (H⁻) as a substituent. The hydride ion is a hydrogen atom that has gained an electron, giving it a negative charge. These compounds are typically formed with electropositive metals, meaning metals that readily lose electrons.
The most common and simplest hydridijohdannaiset are the ionic hydrides, such as sodium hydride (NaH) and calcium
Beyond simple ionic hydrides, the term can also encompass more complex structures and covalent compounds where
