2M + H02 → 2M+1H-1 ∴ H20 → H-1 (Reduction)

Q. When an alkali metal is reacted with hydrogen then metallic hydride is formed. In this reaction

Hydrogen is oxidised

Hydrogen is reduced

Hydrogen is neither oxidised nor reduced

Hydrogen is oxidised as well as reduced

$2 M + H_{2}^{0} \to 2 M^{+ 1} H^{- 1}$
$∴ H_{2}^{0} \to H^{- 1}$ (Reduction)
