i think metallic hydrides......... no particular reasons
i was looking for an option "intersticial hydrides"....but since that wasn't there, i went for metallic hydrides..

non-stoichiometric means that there won't be a perfect ratio between the metal and hydrogen
like in H2O, the ratioof number of hydrogen atoms :water atoms is 2:1
in non-stoichiometric compunds, the ratio will be something like 1:0.95
