Q

Why do you normally fill the 4s sub shell before the 3d sub shell?

Q

Why are the 4s electrons removed first even though they were filled first?

A

As soon as the 4s sub shell gets filled it acts as the higher energy level sub shell (due to repulsion)

Q

Why are copper and chromium exceptions to the 4s sub shell being filled before the 3d sub shell rule?

A

They are exceptions because having a full or half filled 3d sub shell is more stable than having a filled 4s sub shell and only partly filled 3d sub shell

Q

Why do transition metals have variable oxidation states?

A
  • There is not a large energy difference between the 3d and 4s sub shell
  • Successive ionisation energies increase gradually until all the 4s and 3d electrons have been removed OR until a stable configuration of electrons is reached

Q

Why is the +2 oxidation state formed by all the transition metals?

Q

Why does Fe form the +2 and +3 oxidation states?

A

Fe 2+ - formed when 2 electrons are lost from the 4s sub shell
Fe 3+ - formed when 2 electrons are lost from the 4s sub shell and 1 is lost form the 3d sub shell leaving 3d5 which offers the ion stability

Q

Why is the first ionisation energy pretty much the same across all transition metals/ d-block element?

A

As the first electrons are all removed from the 4s sub shell.

NB: There is a slight increase in first ionisation energy across transition metal elements - this is due to increasing atomic number, therefore, there are more protons in the nucleus (higher nuclear charge) and so stringer forces of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons.
However, there is same shielding across all elements as they are all removed form the same shell.

Q

Why do Cr and Cu have high 2nd ionisation energies in comparison to the other transition metals/ d-block elements?

A

Chromium - Only had 1 electron in the 4s sub shell and so this second electron is being removed from the 3d orbital going from the stable 3d5 configuration -> 3d4

Copper - Only had 1 electron in the 4s sub shell and so this second electron is being removed from the from the 3d orbital going form the stable 3d10 -> 3d9

26
Q

Why is the second ionisation energy higher, in general, for all transition metals/d-block elements?

A

There is a higher proportion of protons to electrons, therefore the electrons are more strongly attracted to the positively charged nucleus - Zn loses this electron quite easily as it goes from 3d10 4s1 -> 3d10 which is a very stable configuration

Q

What happens to the d-orbital of the transition metal when it is bonded to a ligand?

A

When a transition metal bonds to a ligand there is repulsion between the electrons of the ligand and the electrons in the d-orbital of the metal ion - this raises the energy of the d-orbitals. However, due to how the d-orbitals are arranged in space the 5 d-orbitals are split, 2 with a higher energy level and 3 with a lower energy level (an energy gap)

Q

What happens when white light is passed through a solution of a transition metal complex ion?

A

Some of the energy from the white light is absorbed to promote an electron from the set of lower energy d-orbitals to the higher set. The remaining wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected and transmitted into the human eye - the human eye observes the complementary colour of the absorbed wavelengths

33
Q

Why are the Zn(2+), Cu(+) and Sc(3+) ions colourless when white light is passed through their solutions?

A

Zn (2+) and Cu (2+) have full 3d sub shells, therefore, no electron can be promoted and so no wavelengths on light are absorbed.

Sc (3+) has no electrons in its 3d sub shell, therefore, no electron can be promoted and so no wavelengths on light are absorbed.

52
Q

What is the definition of a monodentate ligand?

53
Q

What is the definition of a bidentate ligand?

A

Ligands that form two dative covalent bonds with a metal ion

54
Q

Name two examples of a bidentate ligand

A
  • 1,2 diaminoethane - abbreviated to en
  • Ethandioate (C2O4(2-))
55
Q

Why can 1,2 - diaminoethane act as a bidentate ligand, but NH2NH2 cannot?

A

The shape that forms when 1,2 diaminoethane bonds to a central metal ion as a bidentate ion is a regular pentagon. Therefore, this allows for the correct bond angle to exist, 109.5

The shape that NH2NH2 forms when it bonds to a central metal ion as a bidentate ligand is an equilateral triangle. This does not allow for the correct bond angle to exist, instead the angle would be 60

56
Q

What is the hexadentate complex ion you need to know?

A

EDTA (4-)

57
Q

What does the hexadentate ligand EDTA4- do to the metal ions that is binds with?

A

It binds firmly with metal ions, holding them ion solution and making them CHEMICALLY INACTIVE

58
Q

Why is the H-N-H bond in the ammonia ligand 109.5 and the H-N-H bond in [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+ 107?

A

The H-N-H bond in ammonia ligand has 3 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair. Comparatively , the H-N-H bond in Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+ has 4 bonding pairs. Therefore, in Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+ there is equal repulsion between all electron pairs and so a tetrahedral shape is formed. Comparatively, in the ammonia ligand the lone pair-bonding pair repulsion is greater than the bonding pair-bonding pair repulsion therefore the bond angle is smaller

59
Q

What is the planar ring structure around the Fe (2+) transition metal ion called present in haemoglobin?

A

porphyrin

60
Q

What is the name of the iron-porphyrin part of the complex haemoglobin?

A

The haem group

61
Q

What happens when you breathe in CO?

A

CO is a stronger ligand in comparison to H2O, therefore, it bonds to the central Fe (2+) ion more strongly. This is a ligand substitution reaction and it is irreversible which is why less oxygen can be carried around the body.

62
Q

A substance that can dissolve in both acidic and alkaline conditions

63
Q
