Transition Elements from the Right Side of the Periodic Table

question 39

Multiple Choice

Transition elements from the right side of the periodic table are generally found as

• A) sulfides because they tend to give up bonding electrons and form crystals with high lattice energies with sulfur.
• B) sulfides because their electronegativities favor formation of covalent bonds with the polarizable sulfide anion.
• C) oxides because they tend to give up bonding electrons and form crystals with high lattice energies with oxygen.
• D) oxides because oxygen, with its high electronegativity, forms strong covalent bonds with them.
• E) None of these choices is correct.
