Question:
What's the article about?
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
the answer is d. when more solute is added
Vanadium (V)
Vanadium is the only one in the 4th period here so
Explanation:
As a substance melts, and goes from a solid to a liquid state, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, and the molecules move faster, and they separate further and further away from each other. The intermolecluar forces holding the molecules together become weaker
