How does the ionic // covalent character of the compounds of a transition metal vary with its oxidation state? |
| Answer» Solution :As the oxidation state increases, more and more valence shell electrons are involvedin bonding. The ATOMIC core becomesless shielded resulting in the increased ATTRACTION on the electrons. Because OFTHIS, ionic character of bonds decreases with the increase in oxidation state. | |
