which forms interstitial compounds?

A

`Fe`

B

`Co`

C

`Ni`

D

`All`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Transition metals like `Fe,Co,Ni,Cu` etc. form interstitial compounds with elements such as hydrogen, boron, carbon and nitrogen . The small atoms of these non-metallic elements `(H,B,C,N,etc)` get trapped in vacant spaces of the lattices of the transition metal atoms.
