(b) Interstitial compounds are those that are formed when small atoms like $H, C$ or $N$ are trapped inside the crystal lattices of metals.
(c) The oxidation states of chromium in $CrO_4^{2-}$ and $Cr_2 O_7^{2-}$ are not the same.
(d) $Cr^{2+}(d^{4})$ is a stronger reducing agent than $Fe^{2+}(d^{6})$ in water.
