The hydride reacts with the weak Bronsted acid releasing H 2. Hydrides such as calcium hydride are used as desiccants, i.e. drying agents, to remove trace water from organic solvents. The hydride reacts with water forming hydrogen and hydroxide salt. The dry solvent can then be distilled or vacuum transferred from the "solvent pot".
A metal hydride can be a thermodynamically a weak acid and a weak H − donor; it could also be strong in one category but not the other or strong in both. The H − strength of a hydride also known as its hydride donor ability or hydricity corresponds to the hydride's Lewis base strength. Not all hydrides are powerful Lewis bases.
According to the patent application [5] the reactor design has some notable characteristics, that sets it apart from other reactor designs. It uses uranium hydride (UH 3) "low-enriched" to 5% uranium-235—the remainder is uranium-238—as the nuclear fuel, rather than the usual metallic uranium or uranium dioxide that composes the fuel rods of contemporary light-water reactors.
Binary hydrogen compounds in group 1 are the ionic hydrides (also called saline hydrides) wherein hydrogen is bound electrostatically. Because hydrogen is located somewhat centrally in an electronegative sense, it is necessary for the counterion to be exceptionally electropositive for the hydride to possibly be accurately described as truly behaving ionic.
A similar mode of reactivity is seen with H-Si bonds, in which the sulfide forms a bond with the silicon, and the titanium accepts the hydride. The use of sulfur ligands in MHC has continued to expand since Bergman's early work in the field. Iridium and rhenium complexes with bridging sulfides have been demonstrated to heterolytically cleave H 2.

Potassium hydride is produced by direct combination of the metal and hydrogen at temperatures between 200 and 350 °C: 2 K + H 2 → 2 KH. This reaction was discovered by Humphry Davy soon after his 1807 discovery of potassium, when he noted that the metal would vaporize in a current of hydrogen when heated just below its boiling point.
