Answer:
there must be free-moving electrons in a compound to conduct electricity.
in solid ionic compounds, there are no free electrons so it can't conduct electricity.
But in aqueous form the forces of attraction are broken and the ions (cations and anions) are free to move. This means there are free electrons that allow the aqueous compound to conduct electricity.
Answer:
They have electrons in their 3d- and 4s-orbital for bond formation.
Explanation:
d- metals or transition metal are metal which form ion with partially filled d-orbital. Examples are iron and manganese.
The metals have 2 electrons in their 4s orbital. If only this is used for bonding, they will form compounds where they have oxidation State of +2 as seen in MnO.
If two 4s and one of 3d electrons are used, oxidation state of +3 is formed as seen in FeCl3.
If two 2s electron I used with two 3d electrons, compound with oxidation state of +4 is formed as seen in MnO2
Hydroxide ion is a strong and would react with H+ to form water
OH-+H+---->H2O
