In the periodic table actinides occupy :
III B group in 7th row
III B group in 6th row
III B group in 5th row
None of the above
Why Sc (Z = 21) is not considered as transition element ?
Properties of Sc are similar to alkali metals
3d - orbitals are empty in its stable compound
Stable oxidation number of Sc is +2
Atomic volume of Sc is very large
The properties of Zr and Hf are same because :
they have similar radii
they belong to d-block
they have same valence electrons
None of the above
Formation of coloured solution is possible when metal ion in the compound contains :
paired electrons
lone pair of electrons
unpaired electrons
None of the above
In the periodic table metals usually used as catalysts belong to :
f - block
