Answer» Solution :COMPOUNDS formed when small atoms like H, C and N get trapped inside the crystal lattice of transition metals are called interstitial compounds. Properties of such compounds are : (i) High melting POINTS HIGHER than those of pure metals. (ii) These compounds are very hard. (iii) They retain metallic CONDUCTIVITY. (iv) They are chemically inert. |
