Transition Metals - Topic 15 Flashcards
transition elements characteristics
- variable oxidation states
- form complexes
- used as catalysts
- coloured compounds
how to transition metals arise
incomplete d sub shell in ions
cu and cr electronic config
4s1 3dx
zn forms which ion
2+
sc forms which ion
3+
what is monodentate ligand
a ligand that forms one coordinate bond when bonding to the central positive ion
monodentates examples
H2O, NH3, Cl-
bidentates examples
ethanedioate ion
charge of ethanedioate ion
2-
example of multi dentate ligand + how many coordination bonds
EDTA4-
6 coordination bonds
define ligand
atom, molecule, ion which can donate a lone pair
define complex
a central metal ion surrounded by ligands
why do colour changes arise
change in ox state
change in ligand
change in coordination number
when solution is blue, what light is absorbed
orange (opposite on colour wheel)
ligands do what to the orbitals in d subshell
five d orbitals split into two and three
common compounds with NO colour + why for each one
Zn2+ - full d shell, no electrons can move
Cu+ - full d shell, no electrons can move
Sc3+ - empty d shell, no electrons to move around
spectrophotometry method
- add ligand to intensify colour
- make solutions of known concentrations
- measure absorption/transmission
- plot calibration curve
- measure absorbance of unknown compound
- use relationship that concentration is proportional to absorbance and work out concentration.
cisplatin in body how does it bond
two chloride ions are displaced and it bonds onto dna
show cisplatin in body
Pt(NH3)2Cl2 + H2O –>(Pt(NH3)2Cl(H2O))+ + Cl-
Ligand substitution
how does cisplatin bond to dna
mix of dative and h-bonding
haem
ironII complex with multidentate ligand
shape with small ligands and say what the ligands are
octahedral
h2o and nh3
shape with large ligands and say the ligand
tetrahedral
