transition metals Flashcards

1
Q

define transition elements

A

d-block elements that form at least one stable ion with a partially filled d-subshell d1-d9 (Scandium and Zinc are not transition metals)

Q

why do transition elements have variable oxidation states?

A

e- sit 4s/3d energy levels very close so gain/lose a similar amount of energy

Q

why are transition elements good catalysts?

A
  • they can receive or lose some electrons in the d-orbitals to speed the reaction
  • Transition metals have surfaces which adsorbs substances to lower activation energy

Q

How to calculate total oxidation state of metal

A

total oxidation state(charge outside of bracket)-total oxidation state of ligands(times charge of ligands around central metal ion by how many there are or add up if they’re all not the same)

17

multidentate and octahedral

19
Q

define a ligand

A

a molecule with a lone pair of electrons capable of forming coordinate bonds to a metal ion

20
Q

define a complex ion

A

a central metal ion surrounded by ligands

21
Q

% purity calculation
