"None of whom" can only be used for people, whereas "none of them" can be used for other nouns.

You asked if none of them and none of whom are interchangeable. I answered you. When talking about people, either can be used.

@peterf sorry but I can't understand let's look at this example
"there were alot of children there, all of whom sang well.
▪︎there were alot of children there and all of them sang well."
here I don't know when I should use all of them or all of whom
"there were alot of children there, all of whom sang well.
▪︎there were alot of children there and all of them sang well."
here I don't know when I should use all of them or all of whom
