An element of the

3d

transition series shows two oxidation states

x

and

y

that differ by two units. Then: (1) Compounds in oxidation state

x

are ionic if

x>y

(2) Compounds in oxidation state

x

are ionic if

x<y

(3) Compounds in oxidation state

y

are covalent if

x<y

(4) Compounds in oxidation state

y

are covalent if

y<x
