Question:
What do you expect the nature of hydrides is, if formed by elements of atomic numbers 15, 19, 23 and 44 with dihydrogen? Compare their behaviour towards water.

Answer:

The elements of atomic numbers 15, 19, 23, and 44 are nitrogen, potassium, vanadium, and ruthenium respectively.

1) Hydride of nitrogen

Hydride of nitrogen (NH₃) is a covalent molecule. It is an electron-rich hydride owing to the presence of excess electrons as a lone pair on nitrogen.

2) Hydride of potassium

Dihydrogen forms an ionic hydride with potassium owing to the high electropositive nature of potassium. It is crystalline and non-volatile in nature.

3) Hydrides of Vanadium and Ruthenium

Both vanadium and ruthenium belong to the d-block of the periodic table. The metals of d-block form metallic or non-stoichiometric hydrides. Hydrides of vanadium and ruthenium are therefore, metallic in nature having a deficiency of hydrogen.

4) Behaviour of hydrides towards water

Potassium hydride reacts violently with water as: KH_(s) + H₂O_(aq) → KOH_(aq) + H_2(g)

Ammonia (NH₃) behaves as a Lewis base and reacts with water as:

H₂O_(l) + NH_3(aq) ↔ OH^-_(aq) + NH⁺ _4(aq)

Hydrides of vanadium and Ruthenium do not react with water. Hence, the increasing order of reactivity of the hydrides is (V, Ru) H < NH₃ < KH.
