| Sep 20, 2022 at 10:52 | comment | added | Nilay Ghosh | @NipunKulshreshtha I was about to update on BeH2. I will update the answer. But GaH3 is unfortunately covalent. It has been detected as a transient species in the gas phase at very low temperature. However, it is stable in its dimeric form of formula $\ce{H2Ga(H2)GaH2}$ which points towards its covalency and polymerism. | |
| Sep 20, 2022 at 10:44 | comment | added | Nipun Kulshreshtha | But in S block, BeH2 is a covalent compound and in P block, I think GaH3 is an ionic compound. So BeH2 & GaH3 will be Saline/Saltlike or Molecular Hydrides? | |
