Sodium hydride

Description:
Sodium hydride (NaH) is an inorganic compound characterized by its formation of a white to gray solid that is highly reactive, particularly with water. It is a strong base and a powerful reducing agent, commonly used in organic synthesis and as a hydrogen source in various chemical reactions. Sodium hydride has a high melting point and is typically stored under mineral oil or in an inert atmosphere to prevent reaction with moisture or carbon dioxide from the air. When it comes into contact with water, it reacts vigorously to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, which can be explosive in confined spaces. Due to its reactivity, sodium hydride must be handled with care, using appropriate safety measures to avoid exposure. Its applications extend to the production of other sodium compounds and in the preparation of hydrides of other metals. Overall, sodium hydride is a versatile reagent in the field of chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of organic compounds and in various industrial processes.
