what are the two strange d block elements and what is so strange about them
Chromium
-should be 3d4 4s2 but it is 3d5 4s1. this is for added stability the half filled d5 shell brings
Copper
- should be 3d9 4s2 but it is 3d10 4s1. this is for added stability that a fully filled d10 sub shell brings
what two d block elements are, by definition NOT transition elements
Scandium
-only makes Sc 3+. the highest energy level is 3p. d orbital is empty
Zinc
-only makes Zn2+. highest energy level is 3d10. not a partially filled d orbital.
characteristics of a transition elements that sets them apart from other entals
form colored compounds
their elements and compounds can act as catalysts
they form compounds where the transition element has different ox states
