Parts and what they mean
- Metal lattice (धातु जालक) — The metal keeps its crystal lattice; the voids between atoms are the interstitial sites.
- Small atoms in the holes (रिक्तियों में छोटे परमाणु) — Small atoms like H, C and N get trapped inside the crystal lattice of the metal.
- Examples and properties (उदाहरण और गुण) — Non-stoichiometric; very high melting points, very hard (some borides near diamond), metallic conductivity, chemically inert.
