d-block elements form complex compounds,...

d-block elements form complex compounds, Give reason. 

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Transition metal ions have smaller size and greater positive charge. Hence their polarizing power is high. Polarising power `= ("charge")/("size")`
  Due to high polarizing power, d-block metal ions can attract electrons of the ligands to form co ordinate bonds.
(ii) d-block metal ions have vacant d-orbitals that can overlap with the orbital of the ligands.
