Which of the following is incorrect ?
Metallic hydrides conduct heat
Hydrides of alkali and alkaline earth metals are generally electrovalent compounds
Ionic hydrides do not conduct electricity in solid-state
Ionic hydrides conduct electricity in solid-state and not in the molten state
As we have learned
Ionic hydrides conduct electricity only in the fused state, not in the solid-state
Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because there are no free mobile ions or electrons, ionic compounds dissolved in water make an electrically conductive solution.
Electrovalent compounds contain ionic bond.
Therefore, option(4) is correct.
