Which of the following statements is not true about interstitial compounds?

Determine whether the following statements are True $(T)$ or False $(F)$:
$(a)$ The atomic radii of the elements of the second transition series $(4d)$ are larger than those of the first transition series $(3d)$.
$(b)$ $Cr^{+}$,$Mn^{2+}$,and $Fe^{3+}$ have the same electronic configuration.
$(c)$ $Cr^{+}$,$Mn^{2+}$,and $Fe^{3+}$ have the same $d^5$ electronic configuration.

The $d-$block element which is a liquid at room temperature,has a high specific heat,lower reactivity than hydrogen,and its chloride $(MX_2)$ is volatile on heating is
