Q. Elements of which of the following group(s) of periodic table do not form hydrides

Hydrogen

Solution:

The region of the periodic table from the group $7$ to $9$ is referred to as the hydride gap as they do not form hydrides.

Examples of such elements are $Mn, Fe, Co, Ru$ etc. These elements do not form hydrides on account of low affinity for hydrogen in their normal oxidation states.
