The correct answer is:
Their chemical properties are different than parent metal.
The compounds formed when small atoms of $\mathrm{H}, \mathrm{C}$ or $\mathrm{N}$ get trapped inside the crystal lattice of metals is known as interstitial compounds.
- The chemical properties of the parent transition metals are not altered during the formation of interstitial compounds.
- These compounds have very high melting points, higher than that of the parent transition metals.
- These compounds are very hard. The hardness of some borides is comparable to that of a diamond.
- The conductivity exhibited by them is similar to their parent metal.
- These compounds are chemically inert in nature.
