Accepted Answer
These are all important classes of inorganic compounds! Here's a concise overview:
Hydrides: Compounds containing hydrogen bonded to another element. Examples include sodium hydride (NaH) and ammonia (NH3).
Halides: Compounds containing a halogen (F, Cl, Br, I) bonded to another element. Examples include sodium chloride (NaCl) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4).
Organometallic Compounds: Compounds containing a metal-carbon bond. Examples include ferrocene (Fe(C5H5)2) and methyllithium (CH3Li).
Group 14 Hydrides: These are hydrides of elements in group 14 of the periodic table (carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead). They exhibit interesting trends in structure and reactivity, with increasing stability and metallic character as you move down the group.
