173.

Mention the direct consequence of the following factors on the chemical behaviour of the transition elements.
(i) They have in completely filled d-orbitals in the ground state or in one of the oxidised states of their atoms.
(ii) They contribute more valence electrons per atom in the formation of metallic bonds?

174. Why do the d-block elements exhibit a large number of oxidation states than the f-block elements?

The d- block element exhibit a large number of oxidation states than the f- block element. It is because they can lose electron from both ‘d’ as well as ‘s’ orbital.
