In long form of periodic table, the d -block element which forms interstitial hydride is
Options
- AMo
- BW
- CNi
- DCr
Correct answer
D. Cr
Step-by-step solution
Generally, group 6, 7, 8 and 9 has low affinity towards hydrogen when they are in their normal oxidation states. This prevents the formation of metal hydrides. But chromium ( Cr ) is an exception. The Cr absorb hydrogen in almost 1: 1 stoichiometric quantity. During the formation of such compounds hydrogen atoms occupy the interstitial sites present in crystals of metals.
