In compounds of higher oxidation states in transition metals the bonds formed are mostly:
Ionic
Covalent
Electrovalent
Divalent
In compounds of higher oxidation states in transition metals the bonds formed are mostly covalent.
Electrovalent or Ionic compounds are non-directional in nature and Covalent compounds are directional in nature.
Complete the following :
(a) When the nuclei of two different reacting atoms are of ......... mass, then a bond so formed is called ...................... covalent bond (equal, unequal, polar, non-polar).
(b) In case of non-polar covalent bond, the covalent bond is formed in the .......... of atoms and shared electrons are ........... distributed (corner, middle, equally, unequally)
(c) The ions in ................ compounds are held very strongly due to strong ............ forces (electrovalent, covalent, electromagnetic, electrostatic).
