Due to the hydrogen bonds of the three following hydrides, they distinctly have high boiling points instead of the initial assumption of having the lowest boiling points.

As electronegativity increase, production of ionic cations increases because elements are more able to adopt a cation. -In this case, CaH2 is basic because it reacts with water (an acid in this case) to form many hydrides by reducing a proton. Therefore, HF is the weak acid, where the water acts as a silent water, and F- is the weak conjugate base.
