MCQ
Which of the following is not an interstitial compound?
  • A
    TiC
  • B
    MoC
  • C
    Fe0.82​O
  • D
    Cr2​O3​

Answer

  1. Cr2​O3​

Explanation:

TiC, MoC and Fe0.82​O are interstitial compounds. However, Cr2​O3​ is not an interstitial compound. Interstitial compounds are those compounds which are formed when small atoms like H, C or N are trapped inside the interstitial spaces in the crystal lattice of metals. They are usually non-stoichiometric in nature and cannot be represented by a definite composition and are neither typically ionic nor covalent.
