Earlier, it was thought that in the non-stoichiometric hydrides, hydrogen occupies interstices in the metal lattice producing distortion without any change in its type. Consequently, they were termed as ………X…….. Here, X refers to

Earlier, it was though that in the non-stoichiometric hydrides, hydrogen occupies interstices in the metal lattice producing distortion without any change in its HYDROGEN 8 type. Consequently, they are termed as interstitial hydrides.
