Revision as of 19:39, 21 February 2011 by Chrumps (talk | contribs) (Kelvin degrees ???)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Mercury hydride (HgH) is a binary compound of hydrogen and mercury. The Hg-H bond is very weak and therefore the compound has only been detected in matrix isolation at temperatures up to 6 K. The dihydride HgH2 and the linear dimer HHgHgH have also been detected this way.
