TRANSITION METALS Flashcards
TRANSITION METALS
Forms at least one stable ion with a partially filled D-sub shell
What are the 2 exseption ?
Sc- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d1
Zn- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10
Key features of transition metals
Complex ion
Coloured ion
Catalytic properties
Variable oxidation state
What is a coordinate bond
Shared pair of e- which both come from same atom
Ligand definition
Ion or molecule eith a lone pair of e- which can form a coordinate bond with a transtiom metal ion
Coordinate number definition
Number kf coordinate bonds a transition metals ions forms
Complex ion definition
Transition metals ions form surrounded by ligands
Monodentate ligands example
H2O:
-:CN
:NH3
-:OH
CL:-
Bidentandate ligands example
1,2-diaminoethane
Ethanedioate ion
How many bond does EDTA4- form
6
What is the chellate effect
Occurs when a monidentate ligand substituetes by bidentate
If there is an increase in moles on the products side
Entropy AS decreases as more disorder
So reaction is feasible
How does HB work
O2 forms a coordinate bond to Fe2+ in haemoglobin enabling oxygen to be transported in the blood
CO toxic because CO bind more strongly to the Fe2+ in haemoglobin this orevents oxygen from bonding to Fe2+ causing soffication
Difference between cis/trans
Trans- 180 degrees between ligands
Cus - 90 degrees between ligands
How does plactin works
Binds to DNA in cancerous cells
Stops cell replication
Preventing DNA. From unwinding so cancerous cells cant replicate which prevents spreading of cancerous celks
Rormation of coloured ions
Due to patrtially filled d sub-shell absirb some of the colours from white light and reflects other
ROY- low energy
BIV- high energy
