Write notes on Interstitial Hydrides. |
| Answer» Solution :Interstitial Hydrides : Metallic hydrides usually obtained by HYDROGENATION of metals and alloys in which hydrogen occupies the interstitial sites (VOIDS). Hence, they are called interstitial hydrides. These hydrides show properties similar to PARENT metals and hence they are also known as metallic hydrides . Most of the hydrides are non-stoichiometric with variable composition `(TiH_(1.5-1.8)and PdH_(0.6-0.8))`, some are relatively light, inexpensive and thermally unstable which makes them useful for hydrogen storage APPLICATIONS. | |
