LiH — Lithium Hydride
Basic information: lithium hydride is an ionic compound of lithium and hydrogen, formula LiH, described as the lightest known ionic compound. Form: pure LiH is a colorless, transparent glassy solid; commercial material is often white, gray or bluish-gray powder/crystals because of impurities or photodecomposition, and is described as highly deliquescent. Reactivity: a strong reducing agent, extremely moisture-sensitive; relatively stable in dry air at room temperature, but reacts vigorously with water to produce lithium hydroxide and hydrogen. Hydrogen storage: theoretical hydrogen content about 12.7%, releasing hydrogen when heated above 500°C.
