D Correct answer
Explanation
Interstitial compounds have high melting points in comparison to pure metals. They are very hard and retain metallic conductivity. They are chemically inert i.e. not reactive.

Which of the following is an interstital compound ?

  1. $ PdCI _2 $
  2. $ NH _3 $
  3. $ ZnO$
  4. $ TiH $

D Correct answer
Explanation

Interstitial compounds are formed when small atoms like hydrogen, carbon, or nitrogen are trapped in the crystal lattices of transition metals. Titanium hydride (TiH) is a classic example of a non-stoichiometric interstitial hydride.

Which forms interstitial compounds?

  1. $Fe$
  2. $Co$
  3. $Ni$

  4. All

D Correct answer
Explanation

A interstitial compound has ions or atoms of a nonmetal occupy interstitial positions in a metal lattice. All of the three transition metal mentioned above have the tendency to form interstitial compounds.

Which of the following is not soluble in $NaOH$?

  1. $Fe(OH) _3$
  2. $Zn(OH) _2$
  3. $Al(OH) _3$
  4. $Sn(OH) _2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Fe(OH)3 is a basic hydroxide and does not dissolve in NaOH. Zn(OH)2, Al(OH)3, and Sn(OH)2 are amphoteric and dissolve in strong bases like NaOH to form soluble complexes.

Addition of non-metals like B and C to the interstitial sites of a transition metal results the metal :

  1. of more ductability

  2. of less ductability

  3. Less malleable

  4. of more hardness
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B,C,D Correct answer
Explanation

Addition of non-metals like B and C to the interstitial sites of a transition metal results in the  more hardness so it will be less ductile and less malleable.
Hence options B,C & D are correct.

Find the solid which has brilliant blue color.
  1. $Fe _2O _3$
  2. $CuSO _4$
  3. $NaBr$
  4. $KCl$
  5. $Ca(OH) _2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Copper sulphate $\displaystyle CuSO _4$ has brilliant blue color.
$Cu(II)$ ions with an outer electronic configuration of  $\displaystyle 3d^{9}$ have one unpaired electron. This results in blue colour which is due to $d-d$ transitions.

Stainless steel contains:

  1. Cu and Zn

  2. Cu and Sn

  3. Pb and Sn

  4. Fe, C, Cr and Ni
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Stainless steel is a metal alloy made up of steel mixed with elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, silicon, aluminium, and carbon. 


Iron mixed with carbon to produce steel is the main component of stainless steel. Chromium is added to make it resistant to rust.
