Question

Transition elements form complexes readily because :

• A. Small size of cation
• B. Large ionic Charge
• C. Vacant d orbitals
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All the above

Transition elements form complexes readily because

1. Due to lower size and higher charge, they have high charge density.
2. They have vacant d orbital in which a ligand can donate its electron and form complex.
