MCQ
Transition metals are not characterized by
  • fixed valency
  • B
    coloured compound
  • C
    high melting and boiling points
  • D
    tendency to form complexes

Answer

Correct option: A.
fixed valency
a
They do not have fixed valencies since they also have vacant orbitals due to which they show exciting property and when they loose/radiate their energy they impart color in the visible region and also due to availability of vacant orbitals it show wide oxidation numbers and hence make many complex compounds.
