Question

Which of the following statements correctly describe the characteristics of metallic (interstitial) hydrides?

Answer: A,B,D

💡 Solution & Explanation

Metallic hydrides are formed by d and f-block elements, are non-stoichiometric, and consist of hydrogen atoms trapped in the interstitial voids of the metal lattice. Unlike ionic hydrides, they retain metallic conductivity (though often less than the parent metal), making statement C incorrect.
