What is atomicity ? Explain with two examples.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The variable oxidation states of transition elements due to the availability of both `(n-1)d` and ns electrons for bond formation, as the energies of Penultimate d-orbitals and ultimate s-orbitals are nearly same. The sum total of ns and unpaired `(n − 1) d` electrons determines the highest oxidation state shown by a transition elements.
