Which of the following is false about interstitial hydrides?
Hydrogen occupies the interstitial sites in the metal lattice without any change in lattice type
Metal of groups 7,8,and 9 do not form hydrides
They are usually electrically conducting
From group 6, only chromium forms hydride
As we have learned,
Metals of Group 7,8 and 9 do not form any hydrides. From group 6, it is only Chromium that forms the interstitial hydride.
Hydrogen occupies the interstitial sites in the metal lattice but has a different lattice structure than its parent metals.
interstitial hydrides are usually electrically conducting.
So, Option 1 is correct.
