    Transition Metals 1

    Transition metals are d-block elements that form stable ions with incompletely filled d-orbitals. The document discusses the electron configurations of transition metals, noting that the d-orbitals are filled before the p-orbitals. It also explains that transition metals can exhibit variable oxidation states because they can lose their s-electrons before d-electrons. Common oxidation states and example compounds are provided for period 4 transition metals like manganese, which can achieve a 7+ oxidation state by losing all its s and d electrons.

    configurations
    Learning objectives.
    I will know that transition metals are d-
    block elements that form one or more stable
    ions with incompletely filled d-orbitals
    Be able to deduce the electronic
    configurations of atoms and ions of the d-
    block elements of period (Sc-Zn) given
    atomic number and charge(if any)
    I will be able to explain why transition
    metals show variable oxidation numbers
    What are transition
    metals?
    What is the definition of a transition
    element?
    Do all of the d-

    shells.
    What properties do transition metals
    have in common?
    They are hard metals, with high melting
    and boiling temperatures; they have
    more than one oxidation number in their
    compounds; form coloured compounds;
    show catalytic activity.Is a d-block element and a
    transition metal the same
    thing?
    Electron configurations.
    Write down the electron configurations Show the 3d
    and 4s electron

    using s, p, d, f notation. configuration
    Why is the next orbital to be filled not for the first row
    of the d-block
    4p? elements
    Is the filling of the d orbital
    straightforward?
    No. A stable energy sub-shell is always
    desired. This means that electrons will
    provide the most stability. When losing
    electrons the 4s electrons go first.

    Be careful with Chromiun and Copper!
