Question
Answer the following questions:
Compare non transition and transition elements on the basis of their.
  1. Variability of oxidation states.
  2. Stability of oxidation states.
✓

Answer

  1. Oxidation states of transition elements differ from each other by unity. In non-transition elements oxidation states normally differ by a unit of two.
  2. In transition elements higher oxidation states are favoured by heavier elements whereas in non-transition elements lower oxidation state is favoured by heavier elements.
