Answer: On the other hand, the electronic configuration of Fe+2 is [Ar]3d6. (iii) Along a transition series, the nuclear charge increases which tends to decrease the size but the addition of electrons in the penultimate d-subshell increases the screening effect which counter balances the effect of increased nuclear charge. (iii) Orange colour of Cr2O72- ion changes to yellow when treated with an alkali. (i) Many of the transition elements are known to form interstitial compounds. Prove this statement. As transition metals contain a large number of unpaired electrons, they have strong interatomic attractions (metallic bonds).
