NEET Chemistry Transition Elements Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
Assertion (A): Transition elements often exhibit variable oxidation states.
Reason (R): The d orbitals of transition elements protrude to the periphery of an atom, being more influenced by the surroundings.
A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
