5. a) i)
- They form cloured compounds
- They have variable oxidation state
- They form complex compound with ligands
- They are catalytic in nature
- They have magnetic property

ii) According to crystal field theory, there must be two conditions which are:
a) Presence of unpaired electron in the d-orbital
b) Presence of –ve charged species called ligand

The process star when the ligand approaches the d-orbital containing unpaired
electron which exert repulsive effect causing the spitting of d-orbital into two parts
which are double degenerate and treble degenerate.
The double degenerate has raised energy hence found on upper part while the treble
degenerate has lower energy and found on the lower part. The gap separation between
the double and treble degenerate is very small, thus the normal radiant energy can
excite electron from treble to double degenerate making it to be unstable. To maintain
the stability of electron it has to fall from higher level (double degenerate) to treble
degenerate by emitting radiant energy whose wavelength are within the visible part of
hydrogen spectrum, hence can be visible to human eyes.
