Question:
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the interstitial compounds.
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the interstitial compounds.
Show Hint
Interstitial compounds retain electrical conductivity and are usually harder and more stable than pure metals.
Updated On: Jun 4, 2025
- They have high melting points
- They lose electrical conductivity during the formation from metal
- They are chemically inert
- They are very hard
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Interstitial compounds, formed when small atoms occupy the interstitial spaces in a metal lattice, typically have high melting points, are very hard, and are chemically inert. However, they do not lose electrical conductivity upon formation from metal. This statement is incorrect.
