Question
What are interstitial compounds of transition metals?
✓

Answer

  • The interstitial compounds of the transition metals are those which are formed when small atoms like H, C or N are trapped inside the interstitial vacant spaces in the crystal lattices of the metals.
  • Sometimes, sulphides and oxides are also trapped in the crystal lattices of transition elements.
  • Presence of these elements in the crystal lattices of metals provide new properties to the metals.
