NEET Chemistry Transition Elements MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12
Consider a diagram showing the coordination complex formation involving a transition metal ion. The metal ion at the center has multiple d orbitals available for bonding. Which property of transition metals makes them effective at forming such complexes?
A
High ionic charges and availability of d orbitals
B
Complete filling of d orbitals in ground state
C
Ability to form stable carbides
D
Formation of oxides and hydroxides
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Transition metals form complexes due to their smaller ion sizes, high ionic charges, and available d orbitals for bond formation, as noted in the NCERT context.
