Mention the type of compounds formed when small atoms like H, C and N get trapped inside the crystal lattice of transition metals. Also give physical and chemical characteristics of these compounds.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

These are called interstitial compounds. Characteristic Properties : (i) Very hard and rigid, (ii) high melting point (always higher than that of the pure metal), (iii) retain conductivity like that of the pure metal, (iv) chemically inert.

Binary compounds of various elements with hydrogen where hydrogen exhibit an oxidation number of (-1) are called binary hydrides. Nature of hydride obtained depends upon electronegativity of the element and hence on the type of bond formed Hydrides are mainly of three classes Ionic, saline or salt like hydrides. Covalent or Molecular hydrides. Metallic or interstitial hydrides. Which of the following is formed when LiH react with SO2?

In an ideal crystal, the entropy of the constituents at absolute zero temperature (0K) is zero. However, the crystals generally suffer from certain defects also called imperfections They may be both electronic and atomic in nature. The atomic imperfections may be stoichiometric (Schottky and Frenkel defects) or non-stoichiometric (metal excees and metal deficiency defects). In addition to these, there are impurity defects which are caused by the addition of certain impurities of metals and this is known as dopping. The dopping leads to semi conductors which may be either n-type or p-type in nature. In stoichiometric defects, the ratio of positive and negative ions as indicated by chemical formula of the compound:
