Vanadium is a transition metal with several stable oxidation states and is capable of undergoing a range of redox reactions. State the oxidation state of vanadium in the following compounds: (i) V₂05 (ii) VO₂+ (iii) V(H₂O)4Cl2 (iv) V(CO)6 >) Write balanced half equations for the following redox processes: \mathrm{VO}^{2+} \longrightarrow \mathrm{V}^{3+} \mathrm{VO}_{4}{ }^{3-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{V}(\mathrm{OH})_{2} One of the key properties of transition metals is the ability to form coordinate or dative bonds with ligands to form complexes. (i) Define the term coordinate bond. (ii) Draw the structures of the following complexes of vanadium, including possible isomers. \mathrm{V}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Cl}_{3} \mathrm{VCl}_{4}
