Chemistry · Transition Elements: General introduction, electronic configuration, occurrence and characteristics
Variable valency of transition elements is on account of :
Variable valency of transition elements is on account of :
- A. incomplete s - orbitals
- B. incomplete d - orbitals
- C. completely filled d- orbitals
- D. incomplete p-orbitals
Step-by-step solution
Transition elements have partially filled d-orbitals, which allow them to lose different numbers of electrons from both the s and d orbitals, resulting in multiple oxidation states (variable valency).
