Q

Why is Zn not a Transitional metal?

A

Zinc does not show properties of transitional metals as it has full 3d level in standard and ionized states.

Q

Why is the successive ionization energy for Transitional metals gradual compared to something like Ca+3

A

the 4s and 3d levels in the transitional metals are closer together, for the calcium the third electron must be removed from the inner 3p level and dictates a huge jump in energy requirement.

A

Lewis bases

18
Q

How are coordination numbers determined?

A

The number of coordinate bonds from the ligands to the central ion

19

A

different colours

20
Q

A

Square planer, tetrahedral

22
Q

What shape does a coordination number of 6 show?

A

octahedral

23
Q

Why do transition metals show magnetic properties?

A

they contain unpaired electrons

24
Q

Diamagnetism?

A

Very weak magnetic field, has paired electrons

25
Q

Paramagnetism?

A

Has unpaired electrons, stronger than diamagnetism. Magnetic field produced is proportional to the applied field and direction.

26
Q

Feromagnetism?

A

Some times produces magnetic fields greater than the applied field. Stays magnetic. Fe, Co, Ni

27
Q

What are domains in magnetism?

A

unpaired electrons lined up with parallel spin regions

Q

what transitional metal is most paramagnetic?

A

Cr

29
Q

Why are transitional metals coloured?

A

Partially filled d electrons

30
Q

What colour is Zn solution?

A

Colourless

31
Q

What happens to d orbital when producing colour?

A

it splits into two sub level

32
Q

Factors Affecting colour

A

Nuclear charge of metal
Charge density of the ligand
Geometry of the complex
number of d electrons/oxidization state

33
Q

When a colour is absorbed which colour is transmitted?

A

the complimentary colour

34
Q

Lower energy on the spectrochemical series equals to?

A

longer wavelength and vice versa.
