The correct statement regarding the element silver(Ag) is:
1. | It is a hard metal. |
2. | It is not a transition element. |
3. | It has a partially filled d orbital in a +2 oxidation state. Thus, it is a transition element. |
4. | None of the above |
The enthalpy of atomization of transition metals is high due to :
1. High effective nuclear charge
2. A large number of valence electrons
3. Very strong metallic bonds
4. All of the above
The transition metals generally form coloured compounds due to :
1. | Absorption of radiation to promote an electron . |
2. | Presence of ligands, the d-orbitals split up into two sets of orbitals. |
3. | Energy required to promote an electron in d subshell is low. |
4. | All of the above. |
Transition metals and their many compounds act as good catalysts due to :
1. | Variable oxidation states | 2. | Unstable intermediate |
3. | Provide a suitable surface | 4. | All of the above |

The correct statement(s) about transition elements are:
1. | +2, and +3 oxidation states are more common for elements in the first transition series, while higher oxidation states are more common for the heavier elements. |
2. | The heavier transition elements form low-spin complexes only. |
3. | The atomic sizes of the elements of the first transition series are smaller than those of the heavier elements (elements of 2nd and 3r transition series). |
4. | All of the above. |
