Solution
The bonds formed by transition metals in lower oxidation states are ionic while those formed in higher oxidation states are covalent.
Explanation:
In lower oxidation states, transition metals tend to lose electrons easily and form ionic bonds. In higher oxidation states, due to greater polarising power, they form covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
