Select all correct statements

• Metals often form lattices in the solid state

• Metals cannot exist in the liquid state

• It is difficult to introduce other elements into the metallic crystal

• Alloys have properties that differ from the properties of the elements from which they were made

• All metals are malleable

The image shows :

• A substitutional alloy since the yellow atoms replaced the empty space between the blue atoms

• An interstitial alloy since the yellow atoms are the same size as the blue atoms

• A interstitial alloy since the yellow atoms filled the empty space between the blue atoms
