Lecture Thirteen - Inorganic chemistry (periodic table and the elements) Flashcards
How is the D-block arranged?
D-block is arranged into groups in the periodic table, properties also related to ground state electronic configuration.
The chemistry of the lowest oxidation states for these elements is reminiscent of releated elements in the s- and p- blocks.
However, it is the chemistry of the high oxidation states that is interesting, the coordination chemistry.
What are the characteristics of the first period of the d-block elements?
How does the first ionisation energy act when moving accross periods and down groups?
Increases accross a period.
Decreases down a group.
Show the filling of orbitals in the first row of the d-block elements, and the two exceptions to the filling rules.
Show the differing orbital energies of the first row of d-block elements.
