Explain the following observations giving an appropriate reason for each :There occurs much more frequent metal-metal bonding in compounds of heavy transition metals (i.e.,3rd series). |
|
Answer» 4d and 5d transition elements (2nd and 3rd series) are Iarger in size than the corresponding 3d elements. Hence the valence electrons are less tightly held and form M-M bond more frequently. |
