How do the stable ions of the transition metals differ from those formed by the metals in group one and two?

Group 1 metal iions have low tendencies to form complexes because their charge densities are low and they do not have empty orbitals of low energies. however they can form stable complexes with hard donor atoms such as polydentate ligand

Why does the octet rule not always refer to a stable arrangement of 8 valence electrons?
The octet rule does not apply to transition and inner transition metals and to the first for or five elements in the periodic table.
What are early transition metals?
Early transition metals are does starting at the beginning of the transition metals (i.e. Sc) and going through about d5 which would be Mn. These metals are less electron rich as compared to the so-called "late" transition metals and the chemistry of each is somewhat different and definitely unique. Hardness and softness of the each of these groups changes (see Hard Soft Acid Base Theory) as does the stable oxidation states and coordination numbers.
What metals form cations with varying positive charge?
The transition metals are the group on the periodic table that forms ions with different charges. This is because the transition metals cannot easily gain a stable electron configuration. Some of the transition metals, such as silver, do form only one ion, however. wtf why is this here ???? bixth
What ions do transitional metals form?
All metals, whether they belong to the transition state or not, will form only positive ions. There are a few metals which are extremely hard to ionize, however, those being the noble metals such as gold and platinum. But if you do manage to ionize them, the ions are positive.
Explain how and why a covalent bond is formed?
A covalent bond is formed when two non-metals join together. They they do this so that they can form stable molecules. These include ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Are transition metals nonmetals?
Yes, transition metals are known to be stable. This is because, both, their ions and compounds are also considered to be stable.
Which transition metals are radioactive or unstable?
Technetium has no stable isotopes.
Why are transition metals not as reactive as alkali metals and alkali earth metals?
transition elements are not as reactive as alkali metals or alkaline earth metals.. this is so because of the valence electronic configurations. alkali metals have ns1 configurations which have easy chances of loosing electrons so as to gain the stable state. Attaining a stable state is the law of nature. hence to attain it they have to redily donate electron. this is not so easily possible for the transition elements..
Which d block elements are not classified as transition elements?
Sc and Zn are not classified as transition metals. They does not have stable different oxidation numbers.
What type of ions do transitional metals typically form?
cations or positive ions, as transition metals lose electrons to achieve a stable arrangement
How is stable transition elements formed?
It is IMPOSSIBLE to form elements of any kind or group other than by nuclear processes. There is no special one for transition elements.

Do the transition metals form cations or anions?
''Cations'' breh. Transition metals often form ions wihout complete octets that's why all the stable ions are all cations You can also tell that they form cations because some of the trans metals form colored compounds and give off light. Light is only given off by cations, not anions.
Explain why the transition metals are sometimes referred to as the d-blok elements?
the transition metals constitute groups 3 through 12 and are sometimes called d-block elements because of their position in the periodic table; while they all have the same valance electron orbital 'd'.
How the elements in the iron triad differ from the other transition elements?
According to the eighth grade Physical Science textbook, the reason that they differ is because the coinage metals are arranged the way they are so stable and malleable and can be found as free elements in nature. These metals were used widely to make coins, giving them the title of the coinage metals. As for the iron triad, it differs because the elements are used in the process to create steel and other metal mixtures.
