Q. In which of the following ways does the hydride ion tend to function ?

UPSEEUPSEE 2009

Solution:

Hydride ion is formed when hydrogen accept a proton, so it has a tendency to donate electron.

Since, hydride ion $\left( H ^{-}\right)$ has a tendency to donate electorn, it functions as nucleophile.
