8.13 Explain briefly how +2 state becomes more and more stable in the first half of the first row transition elements with increasing atomic number?
8.13 Explain briefly how +2 state becomes more and more stable in the first half of the first row transition elements with increasing atomic number?
8.13 The oxidation states displayed by the first half of the first row of transition metals are given in the table below.
METALS | Sc ( [Ar] 3d14s2) | Ti ( [Ar] 3d24s2) | V ( [Ar] 3d34s2 ) | Cr ( [Ar] 3d54s1) | Mn ( [Ar] 3d54s2) |
OXIDATION STATES |
| +2 | +2 | +2 | +2 |
+3 | +3 | +3 | +3 | +3 | |
| +4 | +4 | +4 | +4 | |
|
| +5 | +5 | +6 | |
|
|
| +6 | +7 |
Except for Sc, all others metals display +2 oxidation state. This is because as the atomic number increases, the number of electrons in the valence shell increases. +2 oxidation s
