Question

Explain General characteristics of d-block elements .​

Answer 1

Answer:

General Properties

form stable complexes.

Have high melting and boiling points.

Contain large charge/radius ratio.

Form compounds which are often paramagnetic.

Are hard and possess high densities.

Form compounds with profound catalytic activity.

Show variable oxidation states.

form coloured ions and compounds.

Answer 2

Answer:

They are less electropositive than the S-block elements. Henceforth, they do not frame ionic compounds but covalent compounds. They possess high ionization energy because of their small size. The ionization potential of d-block elements increases from left to right.
