The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct statements regarding d-block elements, we can analyze each option based on the properties of these elements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Magnetic Properties**: - d-block elements are known for their magnetic properties due to the presence of unpaired electrons in their d-orbitals. - The more unpaired electrons present, the stronger the magnetic property. - **Conclusion**: Option A is correct. 2. **Variable Valency**: - d-block elements exhibit variable valency because they can lose different numbers of electrons from their d-orbitals and s-orbitals. - For example, manganese (Mn) can have oxidation states ranging from +0 to +7. - **Conclusion**: Option B is correct. 3. **Formation of Colored Ions**: - The presence of unpaired electrons in d-orbitals allows for d-d transitions, which can absorb specific wavelengths of light, resulting in colored compounds. - This is why many d-block metal ions are colored. - **Conclusion**: Option C is correct. 4. **Complete d-Orbitals**: - d-block elements do not have completely filled d-orbitals. Instead, they often have partially filled d-orbitals. - A completely filled d-orbital would not exhibit the properties discussed above. - **Conclusion**: Option D is incorrect. ### Final Answer: The correct statements for d-block elements are: - Option A: It shows magnetic properties. - Option B: It has variable valency. - Option C: It has a tendency to form colored ions.
