Question

Q.25 Which of the following compounds is most likely to contain non-metal atoms in the interstices of a metals lattice ? (1) Fe3O4 (2) TIN (3) Mno (4) CoF2​

Answer 1

Answer:

2) Tin

Explanation:

tin is most likely to contain non-metal atoms in the interstices of a metals lattice

Answer 2

Explanation:

Interstitial carbides are derived primarily from relatively large transition metals that act as a host lattice for the small carbon atoms, which occupy the interstices of the close-packed metal atoms.  Interstitial carbides are characterized by extreme hardness but at the same time extreme brittleness. They have very high melting points (typically about 3,000–4,000 °C [5,400–7,200 °F]) and retain many of the properties associated with the metal itself, such as high conductivity of heat and electricity as well as metallic lustre
