Hydrogen is generally considered a non-metal, and a non-metal and a metal often makes a salt. However, lithium hydride seems like a special case. The [wikipedia article][1] does not clearly state if the compound is a salt or not, only describing it as "salt-like". Other again sugges

Structurally, it makes sense to classify it as a salt, due to the network structure, but are there any clear definition to settle where the compound belongs?
