Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

1. Metallic hydrides prove as a strong source of hydrogen as hydrogen is adsorbed on the surface of these metals and when these hydride is dissociated it gives away the trapped hydrogen.

2. Metals like Platinum, Palladium etc has the capability to trap very large quantity of hydrogen and this trapped hydrogen can be used later as source of hydrogen for energy purposes or reaction purposes.
