Barium hydride (BaH2)

Description:
Barium hydride (BaH2) is an inorganic compound characterized by its formation of barium ions and hydride ions. It appears as a white, crystalline solid and is known for its high reactivity, particularly with water, producing barium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. BaH2 is typically synthesized through the direct reaction of barium metal with hydrogen gas at elevated temperatures. This compound is notable for its strong reducing properties and is often utilized in various chemical reactions, including the synthesis of other barium compounds. It has a high melting point and is insoluble in organic solvents, but it can react with acids to release hydrogen. Barium hydride is also used in hydrogen storage applications due to its ability to absorb and release hydrogen gas. Safety precautions are essential when handling BaH2, as it can react violently with moisture and is considered hazardous. Overall, barium hydride is an important compound in both industrial and research settings, particularly in materials science and hydrogen storage technologies.
