Answer 1

Answer:

Transition elements have tendency to form complexes more than s and p block elements, which form only a fewcomplexes. They have vacant low energy orbitals to accept lone pairs of electrons donated by other groups or ligand. Answer: This is because the transition elements have got variable oxidation states.
