Transition elements are d-block elements...

Transition elements are d-block elements, with some exceptions. Usually they are paramagnetic. They show variable oxidation states. They and their compounds show catalytic property What is the reason for their catalytic property?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The catalytic property of transition metals is due to their ability to show variable oxidation states and their ability to form complexes.
