3.3. Oxidation State <strong>and</strong> Coordination Number<br />

Zn 2+ (Ar) 3d 10<br />

Transition metals have two types <strong>of</strong> valence (combining abilities); primary<br />

valence (oxidation state) is <strong>the</strong> ability to form ionic bonds with oppositely charged ions<br />

<strong>and</strong> secondary valence (coordination number).<br />
