How would you account for the following? Many of the transition elements are known to form interstitial compounds. |

Answer» In the crystal lattice, transition elements have interstitial vacant space into which small sized nonmetal atoms such as H,B, C, or N are trapped. These compounds are non-stoichiometric, neither typically ionic nor covalent. e.g., TiC, MH, Fe3H etc. |
