Among the following, the correctly matched pair is

Among the following, the correctly matched pair is
  1. electron deficient hydride $-\mathrm{SiH}_4$
  2. saline hydride - $\mathrm{CrH}$
  3. electron precise hydride - HF
  4. electron rich hydride $-\mathrm{NH}_3$

Solution

$\mathrm{NH}_3$ is an electron-rich hydride as $\mathrm{N}$-atom belongs to group - 15 and uses three of its valence electrons to make three $\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{H}$ bonds and the remaining two electrons form a lone pair.
