1) Stability decreases with increase in atomic number of the elements. 2) For a given ligand , the complex containing the metal in higher oxidation state is the more stable one . E.g [Co(NH3)6]³+ is more stable than [Co(NH3)6]²+ . This is due to the fact that the higher the oxidation state, the metal cationContinue reading “Stability of complexes formed by transition elements .”

Why is vanadium v oxide such a versatile catalyst.
Vanadium is a transition element . Most transition elements and their compounds suit to be industrial and biological catalysts due to the following reasons; Due to their ability to show variable oxidation states . Form complexes , a complex is a central metal ion /atom surrounded by ligands that are coordinately bounded to the CentralContinue reading “Why is vanadium v oxide such a versatile catalyst.”
