: Formed with transition metals like palladium or titanium. In these, hydrogen atoms actually "squeeze" into the gaps (interstices) of the metal's crystal lattice. This creates a material that can act like an alloy and conduct electricity.
Hydrides aren't just lab curiosities; they are workhorses in modern technology: hydride
In chemistry, a is a compound where hydrogen is bonded to another element. While we often think of hydrogen as a positive ion ( H+cap H raised to the positive power ), in many hydrides, it acts as a hydride anion ( H−cap H raised to the negative power : Formed with transition metals like palladium or titanium
