Interstitial compounds are formed when small atoms are trapped inside the crystal lattice of metals. Which of the following are the characteristic properties of interstitial compounds? I. They have high melting points in comparison to pure metals. II. They are very hard. III. They retain metallic conductivity. IV. They are chemically very reactive.

Compounds formed when the noble gases get entrapped in the cavities of crystal lattices of certain oreganic and inorganic compounds are known as

Assertion: All clatharate compound of noble gas are the compounds in which the molecules of noble gases are trapped in cavities in te crystal lattice of other compounds. Reason: He and Ne having smaller size do not form clatrate compound molecules are small because are small because their ehough to escape from cavities.

Due to availability of vacant orbitals of sufficiently low energy, d-block elements form complexes, d-block elements have different properties such as-catalytic, magnetic, alloy formation, interistitial compounds formation. Interistitial compounds are those compound in which small atoms like carbon and boron fits into interistices of d-block elements crystal. in interistitial compounds, there is no chemical bond formation. chemcial properties remain almost same but physical properties may change. Q. Which of the property of interistitial compounds has the same behaviour as that of the elements?
