- It is best to not consider sodium hydride as toxic, as while it is very corrosive to wet human tissues other than its corrosive effect it is not able to damage a human.
What does that mean? It's not toxic, even though it will destroy any tissue that comes in contact with it? Twilight Realm 01:52, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Solubility of NaH
NaH - it is not soluble, I am pretty sure. There are no sources of naked H- in organic solvents. Lots of students think that it is, but they are fooled by the fact that NaH will deprotonate solvents to give a bases that behave equivalently to NaH. Research chemists would crave a soluble form of real H-, uncluttered with BH3, AlH3. I would love to be wrong on this one! --Smokefoot 02:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] In Turkey Jargon Literature
A typically turkish cultural gesture which expresses misbelieve, distrust, challenge, opposition or disobedience. Nah occurs when someone puts his/her thumb between forefinger and middle finger and the nahhed fist is shown to the person at whom it is aimed. A more brutal version of the gesture exists, by creating a "slash" like sound after turning the nahhed fist with an immediate forward motion, in order that the nahhed wrist hits the other hand's palm.
LITERALLY NAH MEANS "LIKE THE HELL IT IS?"
