The false statement regarding saline hydrides is:
Correct answer: D. They are covalent in nature
- A. They conduct electricity in molten state
- B. They are used as reducing agents
- C. They give H2 from H2O
- D. They are covalent in nature
Explanation
Saline hydrides (also known as ionic hydrides or pseudohalides) are compounds form between hydrogen and the most active metals, especially with the alkali and alkaline-earth metals of group one and two elements, thus they are ionic, not covalent.

About s-Block and p-Block Elements
The s and p blocks are studied through their valence-shell configurations, periodic trends and characteristic chemical properties. Work covers the reactions of Group I and Group II elements, the behaviour of Group IV elements, and how atomic size, ionization energy, electronegativity and metallic character change across periods and down groups.
