Question
Give reasons for the following:
  1. Transition metals form alloys.
  2. Mn2O3 is basic whereas Mn2O7 is acidic.
  3. Eu2+ is a strong reducing agent.
✓

Answer

  1. Due to comparable radii/ comparable size.
  2. In Mn2O3, Mn is in +3(lower) oxidation state while in Mn2O7, Mn is in higher oxidation state (+7).
  3. Because its stable oxidation state is +3.
