Most transition metals:(I) Form sets of compounds which display different oxidation states of the metal. (II) form coloured ion in solution (III)burn vigorously in oxygen (IV) form complex compound of theseA. I,II,III are correctB. II,III,IV are correctC. I,II are correctD. all the correct |

Answer» Correct Answer - C (I) show variable oxidaton state as `(n-1)` and ns orbitals have nearly the same energy and ,thus ns as well `(n1-)` orbital electrons can be lost giving variable oxidaton state. (II) Colour of the compound may be attributed to the incomplete `(n-1)` d subshell which may involved in d-d transition of electrons in presence of ligands. (III) They have low volatility because of high enthalpies of atomization on account of strong metallic bonding. |
