Transition metals:A. exhibit only diamagnetismB. undergo inert pair effectC. do not form alloysD. show variable oxidation states. |

Answer» Correct Answer - D (A) According to the definition of transition metals, they have partially filled `(n-1)` d orbitals excepts copper and Zinc thus mostly show paramagnetism. (B) It is property of heavier p-block elements. (C ) Transition metals from a large number of alloys. The transition metals are quite similar in size and , therefore , the atoms of one metal can substitute the atom of other metal can substitute the atoms of other metal in its crystal lattice. Thus , on cooling a mixture , solution of two or more transition metals, solid alloys are formed. (D ) Show variable oxidation states as `(n-1)` d and ns orbitals have nearly the same energy and , thus ns as well as (n-1) d orbital can be lost giving variable oxidation state. |
