What are metallic/interstitial hydrides ? How do they differ from molecular hydrides ?

Answer»

Solution :Metallic/Interstitial hydride make many d-block and f-block metals.
These hydrides are good conductor of electricity.
These hydrides are non-stoichiometric EXCEPT SALINE hydride and e.g. being deficient in hydrogen. e.g., `LaH_(2.87) YbH_(2.55) , TiH_(1.5-1.8), VH_(0.56), NiH_(0.6-0.7), PbH_(0.6-0.8)`etc. In these hydrides law of constant composition does not hold good.
