Text Solution

Verified by Experts

One of the most striking features of the transition elements, is that they exhibit variable valency. The variable valency occurs to some extent in the `p-`block elements also. In this case the valency changes usually in units of two. Some example are `SnCl_(2),SnCl_(4),PCl_(3),PCl_(5) etc`. But in transition elements the valency changes in one unit `e.g Cu^(+),Cu^(+2),Fe^(+2),Fe^(+3) etc`.
