Which of the following element can form interstitial alloy with transition elements?
Correct answer: C. H
- A. Zn
- B. Mg
- C. H
- D. All of these
Explanation
C is correct option because several interstitial compounds are formed by the transition metals. Transition metals react with elements such as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, boron, etc. to form interstitial compounds. or alloys. As vacant spaces of the transition metals are filled up by small atoms, these compounds are hard and rigid. Option A B is wrong because Zinc and Mg have large sizes and interstitial compounds are formed by small-sized atoms like hydrogen. D is wrong because Zinc and magnesium cannot form interstitial alloys.

About Electronic Structure of d-Block Elements
The electronic structure of d-block elements covers the filling of the (n-1)d and ns orbitals, general electronic configurations, and the exceptions shown by chromium and copper. It explains how partially filled d orbitals produce variable oxidation states, coloured ions, magnetic behaviour and complex formation, while distinguishing transition elements from elements with completely filled d subshells.
