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.
