If a non-metal is added to the interstitial sites of a metal then the metal becomes:

A

softer

B

less tensile

C

less malleable

D

more ductile.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
If a non-metal occupies interstitial sites of a metal, the metal becomes less malleable. This is because the non-metal atom forms covalent bonds with metal atoms and covalent bond is rigid and directional.
