9.11. Those hydrides which do not have fix composition are called non-stoichiometric hydrides, and the composition varies with temperature and pressure. This type of hydrides is formed by d- and f-block elements. They cannot be formed by alkali metals because alkali metal hydrides form ionic hydrides.
