Bonding in π-complexes is strongest when both the filled π-bonding orbital of the π-bonded ligand donates TO the metal and the empty π* orbital on the ligand can accept electron density FROM the metal. A metal with a partially-filled set of d orbitals is able to participate in this synergistic mode of bonding; main group atoms virtually never have filled pπ orbitals available for donating electron density to π-complexed ligand, hence this kind of complex occurs only with transition metals.

∙ 10y agoThis is due to availability of vacant d-orbitals in transition metal that they for linkages with the ligands to form complexes. The likanges are formed when the ligand donates electron pair(s) TO the metal and this electron pair is accomodated in the vacant d-orbital of the metal.

Do atoms of copper and iron generally form stable bonds with transition elements?
Yes, atoms of copper and iron can generally form stable bonds with transition elements. Copper and iron are both transition elements themselves and can form stable bonds with other transition elements. The stability of the bonds will depend on factors such as the electronegativity and bonding properties of the specific elements involved.
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.
What elements usually form brightly colored compounds?
Transition Metals
What element form a bridge between the left and right sides of the periodic table?
Transition elements form a bridge between left and right side of periodic table . Transition elements are placed in centre.
What elements that form a bridge between the elements on the left and right side of the periodic table?
Transition Metals
Which metals are transition?
All the transition state metals can be found in the clearly marked central portion of the Periodic Table of elements, but I will tell you that most of the well-known metals, such as iron, copper, gold, lead, zinc, nickel, chromium, platinum, etc., are transition state elements. The only really well known metal that is not a transition state element is aluminum. Other metals such as calcium or sodium are also not transition state elements, but they are not often encountered in their metallic form, they are encountered in compounds such as salt. Metals that we encounter in metallic form are almost always transition state elements.

Why are f-block elements called inner transition elements?
inner transition elements are those who have their last 3 shells incompletely filled. The f block elements have their last 3 shells incompletly filled . That is why they are also called as inner transition elements. what different between inner transition and outer transition elements
What elements usually form brightly colored compounds?
Transition Metals
What element form a bridge between the left and right sides of the periodic table?
Transition elements form a bridge between left and right side of periodic table . Transition elements are placed in centre.
What kind of elements can form ions with more than one charge?
Transition elements are the major group of elements with this property.
What charateristic of atomic structure distinguishes the transition elements from the A groups of elements?
They form color ions and solutions
What are elements that form a bridge between the elements on the left and right side of the periodic table?
Transition Metals
What elements that form a bridge between the elements on the left and right side of the periodic table?
Transition Metals
Which periods of the periodic table contain trans ition elements?
All the transition elements are metals. In the usual wide form periodic table, the transition elements are in columns 3 - 12 and in two rows at the bottom of the main table. Those in the rows at the bottom are also called "inner transition elements".
What is in the main group of elements?
The main group of elements includes all the elements in columns 1, 2, and 13 through 18 of a wide form periodic table. All the other elements are "transition elements", and those in the two horizontal rows at the bottom of a wide form periodic table are also called "inner transition" elements.
