Why transition elements show variable valency?

Transition elements contain 2 outermost shells incompleted including the valence shell. But when it reacts with other, it shares,gives or accepts elctrons from its inner shells.


Why are transition elements found in the middle of the periodic table?

Transition elements are found in the middle of the periodic table because they have incomplete d orbitals in their electron configuration. This allows them to exhibit multiple oxidation states and form complex compounds. Transition elements also show characteristic properties such as variable valency and the formation of colorful compounds.


Why noble gas show variable oxidation state?

Noble gases typically do not form compounds or show variable oxidation states due to their stable electronic configuration with a full outer shell of electrons. However, under extreme conditions such as high pressure and temperature, or with the use of advanced techniques, noble gases can be forced to form compounds with other elements, exhibiting variable oxidation states.


Where can you find the element chromium?

its very reactive as it show variable valences so you havw to order it though a school


Why is silver a transition metal?

Silver is considered a transition metal due to its partially filled d orbitals in its electron configuration. Transition metals exhibit a wide range of colors due to their ability to absorb and emit visible light. They also show variable oxidation states and are known for their catalytic properties.
