Question
Chemistry Question on d block elements
Why d-block element form complexes?
A
Due to large size and high nuclear charge
B
Due to small size and low nuclear charge
C
Due to small size and high nuclear charge
D
None of the above
Answer
Due to small size and high nuclear charge
Explanation
Solution
d− block elements form complexes due to following factors
(i) very small size
(ii) high positive nuclear charge
(iii) vacant orbitals with suitable energy to accept lone pair of electrons
