MCQ
D-block elements form complexes because they have:
- AVacant orbitals.
- BSmall sizes.
- CHigher nuclear charge.
- DAll of the above.
Explanation:
Transition metals has incompletely filled d orbital. They have vacant orbitals to accept coordination bond. Complex compounbs are those in which the metal ion bind a number of anions or neutral molecules giving complex species with characteristics properties. The transition metals form a large no. of complex compounds.
This is due to the comparatively smaller size of the metal ions,their high ionic charges and the availability of d orbitals for bond formation.
