Q:

How is hydrogen stored chemically?

A) As ions B) By compressing hydrogen gas
C) In the form of hydrides D) In the form of ice
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) In the form of hydrides

Explanation: Conventionally, hydrogen molecules are converted to hydrides and stored. Ions are intermediate species and cannot be stored. Compression of hydrogen gas is a physical means of storage.
