Question

Difference between transition elements and p block elements with reference to oxidation state

Answer 1

Answer:

Transition elements have their valence electrons present in d orbital.

Therefore they are also known as d block elements.

The transition elements except zinc have variable oxidation number in different atoms.

For an example copper has two oxidation States:- +2 and+1 in different atoms.

Anothergood example is of iron which has two oxidation states of + 2 and + 3.

p block elements have their oxidation numbers between the range of -3 to 5 for different groups in p block elements including few exceptions.

For an example

B has general oxidation State 0 to 3

C has general oxidation State 0 to 4

N has general oxidation state -5 to 3

O has general oxidation state-2 and -1

all the inert gases have their oxidation State zero

hope you are satisfied with the answer given above if so then please follow me and I will make sure that all your doubts in chemistry will be cleared
