I saw that someone had previously posted
"Does anyone know the ionic radius of hydride(anion of hydrogen)?." But I was curious about hydrogen anion is it expensive to purchase by the gram? Or how is it collected for research and other purposes? I am trying to learn more about the negative ion's of hydrogen, H- for the next science fair. English is my second language. Thanks for any help you can give.

I am not an expert, but I suspect pure hydride is difficult to store, as it will lose its electron easily. So, it makes sense to produce hydride near where the hydride is going to be used.

I have found a PDF detailing ways of producing them, some of which may be beyond your means. Nevertheless, here it is:

Is this helpful?
LiH
Yes. i want it to explode or fuse. Would that happen if i add cationic hydrogen, such as protonated molecular hydrogen or trihydrogen cation?

You clearly don't have the required knowledge to handle those things safely. We won't help you to hurt yourself.

Hydrogen doesn't work the way you imagine here.
