if it is what i think it is and that is the amount of compounds which are formed with hydrogen then it is C - carbon cause carbon can create largest amount of compounds with hydrogen -> hydrocarbons

Answer 12

Anyway, I do not understand the question either.

In France, hydrides are compounds where H is (-I).
The most famous I know are LiH and LiAlH4.

Besides I do not understand the grammar of the question :
"Which element forms the most hydrides?"

What does the "most" mean in this sentence?

Answer 13

exactly thats the way CIE examination tricks students..

Answer 14

that are not tricks that is just playing stupid, and gessing game

Answer 15

Does it mean:

"Which element forms hydrides most easily?"
or
"Which element forms the greatest number of hydrides?"

Answer 16

Is CIE 'Cambridge International Examination' ?

@JFraser: could you help us with this question?

Answer 20

Answer 21

okau

Answer 22

i would choose carbon as well. Usually hydrides are compounds containing the H-1 ion, as mentioned earlier. We don't normally call them carbon hydrides, but carbon forms thousands of them. We usually just call them organic compounds. CH4, C2H6, C2H4, etc, etc

Answer 23

so @zaphod for conclusion it is carbon :D
