What is the radius of the hydride $(\ce{H-})$ ion? There are several sources with conflicting reports on the same.
Inorganic Chemistry: Principles of structure and Reactivity cites Pauling’s 1960 study of the hydride ion, stating that
it has a radius of 208 pm compared to 216 pm for the iodide ion
This would imply that it is larger than the fluoride, chloride and even the bromide ion! This article in nature disproves the above and states:
the ionic radius of an $\ce{H-}$ ion is 134±2 pm, which is slightly larger than the radius of $\ce{F^-(II)}$ (128.5 pm) and almost the same as the radius of $\ce{O^2-(II)}$ (135 pm). This evaluation agrees with the generally accepted trend that the radius of an $\ce{H-}$ ion is nearly the same or slightly larger than that of an $\ce{F-}$ ion.
Which one of these is correct? Also, could additional citations be given to tell the exact size of the hydride ion?
