Interstitial hydrides have a metallic bond. They are non stoichiometric which means the number of atoms of the elements presented cannot be represented by a ratio of small whole numbers and their composition varies with temperature and pressure ZnH2 is an example of interstitial hydride while NH3, CH4 and H2O are the examples of covalent hydride.
