Concept introduction:
Transition metals are those metals which are present from group 3 to 11 in the periodic table. They are known as d-block elements and contain partially filled d-orbitals. The second and third row elements in the periodic table show change in properties on moving from left to right. Due to little shielding effect on the outer electrons, there is increase in effective nuclear charge results if a proton is added to the nucleus. This result in smaller atomic radius, increased ionization energy, increased electronegativity and increased non-metallic character of the transition elements.
Some of the properties of the transition elements are as follows:
- They have large charge to radius ratio.
- The density of transition elements is high and they are also hard in nature.
- The melting and boiling points of the transition elements are high.
- They form paramagnetic compounds.
- There is variable oxidation state shown by the transition elements.
- They form colored compounds.
- The compounds form by transition metals has catalytic activity.
- They form stable complexes.

- Divide the electron configurations d1 through d10 among the groupmembers such that every configuration is assigned to at least twogroup members. Working individually, draw the orbital diagram forthe configurations assigned to you, including both high-spin andlow-spin diagrams where possible. Present your diagrams to yourgroup. Combine all diagrams into one set for the group.arrow_forwardDescribe how magnetism in lanthanides series arisesarrow_forwardAmong the (pi) acid ligands of groups 15 and 16, which is the most similar, regarding the capacity ofretro-donation, to the CO?
