Strontium hydride (SrH2) is an inorganic compound characterized by its formation from strontium and hydrogen. It appears as a white or grayish solid and is known for its ionic structure, where strontium ions (Sr²⁺) are paired with hydride ions (H⁻). Strontium hydride is highly reactive, particularly with water, producing strontium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reactivity makes it a useful reducing agent in various chemical reactions. It has a relatively high melting point and is stable under anhydrous conditions, but it can decompose when exposed to moisture or air. Strontium hydride is often utilized in the synthesis of other strontium compounds and in the production of hydrogen gas. Additionally, it has applications in materials science and as a potential hydrogen storage material due to its ability to release hydrogen upon decomposition. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can react vigorously with water and other protic solvents.
