question 5

Multiple Choice

Transition elements from the left 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)the uncombined elements, because they are noble metals.
