Question

describe the general characteristics of transition elements with special reference to the following: (1) formation of colour salt (2) variable oxidation states​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

(1) most of the transition elements and their salts are coloured . Transition metals contain at one unpaired electron .so coloured in nature

(2) Transition metals have both ns and (n-1)d- orbitals.which are of nearly equal energies due to which transfer of electron is possible.so they exhibit variable oxidation states.
