Options
- AMetallic/interstitial hydrides involve the formation of covalent bonds with hydrogen, while molecular hydrides
- BMetallic/interstitial hydrides involve the absorption of hydrogen within the crystal lattice of metals, while
- CMetallic/interstitial hydrides are formed by non-metals, while molecular hydrides are formed by metals.
- DMetallic/interstitial hydrides are formed by a direct reaction between metals and hydrogen, while molecular hy
Correct answer
B. Metallic/interstitial hydrides involve the absorption of hydrogen within the crystal lattice of metals, while
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) Metallic/interstitial hydrides involve the absorption of hydrogen within the crystal lattice of metals, while molecular hydrides involve discrete molecules.
