Question

Non stoichiometric compounds of transition elements are due to

Answer 1

Answer:

Non-stoichiometric compounds also exhibit special electrical or chemical properties because of the defects; for example, when atoms are missing, electrons can move through the solid more rapidly.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Compounds comprising transition metals likely to form non-stoichiometry,

• $\:$
• due to the variable oxidation state of the transition metal cation.
