Ionic hydrides are formed between metals, typically from s-block elements, and hydrogen. These compounds are characterized by the transfer of electrons from the metal to the hydrogen, resulting in the formation of metal cations and hydride anions (H-). Model I best represents this type of bonding, as it shows a clear ionic interaction between the two species.
