Nonstoichiometric compounds are chemical compounds deviated from stoichiometry. Their elemental composition cannot be represented by a ratio of well-defined natural numbers, and therefore they violate the law of definite proportions.

d- and f-block elements form non-stochiometric hydrides. Nickel hydride is an example of non-stoichiometric compound. Ionic and covalent hydrides are stoichiometric nature such as \mathrm{CH}_4, \mathrm{~B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6, \mathrm{NH}_3 etc.
