Transition Metals Flashcards
Transition elements
An element that forms at least one stable one with a partially filled d sub shell
Name two elements that are not transition metals
Scandium SC3+
Zinc Zn2+
Electronic configuration of chromium
Is2, 2s2,2p6,3s2,3p6,4s1,3d5
E.C of copper
1s2, 2s2, 2p6,3s2,3p6,4s1,3d10
Properties of transition metal
Form complex ions
Coloured ion
Catalytic properties
Variable oxidation state
Coordinate bond
Covalent bond where both electrons are donated by 1 atom only
Ligand
Molecule or ion with a lone pair of electrons that form a coordinate bond with central metal ion
Bidentate ligand
Molecule or ion with 2 lone pair of electrons on two different atoms that each form a coordinate bond with central metal ion
Coordination number
The number of coordinate bonds formed with central metal ion
Complex ion
The central metal ion surrounded by ligands
Monodetate ligands
Each have 1 coordinate bond
H2O
NH3
CN-
Cl-
Bidentate ligand
Each ligand form 2 coordinate bonds
Ethane-1,2-diamine
Ethanedioate C2O4 2-
Multidentate ligands
Each ligand form more than 2 coordinate bond
EDTA4-
EDTA4- can form six coordinate bonds, 2 coordinate bonds with N atoms and 4 coordinate bonds from O- atoms
Chelate effect
When monodentate ligand is substituted by a Bidentate or a multidentate ligand
Results in increasing number of moles on RHS
Increases entropy
Why a reaction is feasible
Entropy change is zero
Because same number of bonds are broken and formed
More molecules on RHS
Entropy increases
Delta G is negative
Heamoglobin
4 coordinate bonds between Fe2+ and N atoms in beam structure ( square planer)
1 coordinate bond between Fe2+ and O2 molecule
1 coordinate bond between Fe2+ and globin protein
Why CO is toxic
O2 forms a coordinate bond with Fe2+ in Haemoglobin enabling oxygen to be transported around the body
CO is toxic as it bonds more strongly and permanently to Fe2+ in heamoglobin
This prevents O2 binding to Fe 2+ causing suffocation
Octahedral complexes
Ligands of 4 one type and 2 of another type can form octahedral complexes
Can also form cis and trans isomers
Square planer
PtCl2(NH3)2
Can form cis and trans isomer
Cis platin
Bonds to DNA cancer cell and stop cell replication
The two Cl- ions on Cisplatin are substituted for 2 N atoms in the adjacent guanine bases
Roy light
Low energy
Big light
High energy
kMNO4 clour

( absorbs yellow and Green )
CuSO4
Blue
Ground state
In pure transition metal atom all d orbitals have equal energy. This is called ground state
Difference in energy
E=hc/lemda
H= Planck constant
c is speed of light
Lemda is wavelengths of light
Big Energy
Abosob blue indigo and voilent
Reflect red orange and yellow
Compound looks orange/red
