How is the variability in oxidation state of transition metals different from these of p-block elements ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand the variability in oxidation states of transition metals compared to p-block elements, let's break down the concepts step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Transition Metals Transition metals are found in the d-block of the periodic table. They have partially filled d-orbitals, which allows them to lose different numbers of electrons. - **Key Point**: Transition metals can exhibit multiple oxidation states due to the involvement of both their s and d electrons in bonding. ### Step 2: Oxidation States in Transition Metals ...
