how do transition metals act amphoteric?
It is because transition metals are highly electropositive in nature.
Give examples and suggest reasons for the following features of the transition metal chemistry:
(i)The lowest oxide of transition metal is basic, and the highest is amphoteric/acidic.
(ii) A transition metal exhibits the highest oxidation state in oxides and fluorides.
(iii) The highest oxidation state is exhibited in the oxoanions of a metal.
How do you explain the amphoteric behaviour of amino acids?
