Answer:
The transition metals form interstitial compounds because there are vacant spaces in the lattice of transition metals which can be filled by small atoms like H,C
The atomic sizes of transition metals are very similar to each other. ... As the atomic sizes are very similar one metal can replace the other metal from its lattice and form a solid solution which is the alloy. This is the reason why transition metals form homogeneous mixtures with one another in molten state.
