Nickel (Ni) element forms interstitial compounds.
Explanation:
- It is known that a compound which is formed from a small atom whose radius is small enough that it sits in an interstitial "hole" in a metal lattice is known as an interstitial.
- When we move from left to right in a period then there occurs a decrease in size of the atoms. And, atoms with smaller size are able to sit in an interstitial hole.
- Out of the given options nickel is smaller in size. As a result, it will be able to form an interstitial compound. Whereas Sc, Fe, and Co are all larger in size than nickel. Hence, they will not form interstitial compounds.
