5. What are interstitial hydrides ? Write their applications.
Answers
Dear matee..❤
ANSWER..
Interstitial hydrides are called as such, because in these compounds, hydrogen occupies interstitial sites in the metal lattice without changing the type of the lattice. Many d-block and f-block elements (except group 7, 8, and 9) form these hydrides (only Cr of group 6 forms CrH)..

Explanation:
Interstitial hydrides have a metallic bond. These compounds are non-stoichiometric (which means the number of atoms of the elements presented cannot be represented by a ratio of small whole numbers), and their composition varies with temperature and pressure.
Interstitial hydrides are used in metallurgy, in manufacture of vacuum tubes. 2. Metallic or interstitial hydrides are used as reducing agents
