The d-Block Elements

#Why we study the Transition MetalsTransition metals are found in natureRocks and minerals contain transition metalsThe color of many gemstones is due to the presence of transition metal ionsRubies are red due to CrSapphires are blue due to presence of Fe and Ti Many biomolecules contain transition metals that are involved in the functions of these biomoleculesVitamin B12 contains CoHemoglobin, myoglobin, and cytochrome C contain Fe

#Why we study the Transition MetalsTransition metals and their compounds have many useful applicationsFe is used to make steel and stainless steelTi is used to make lightweight alloysTransition metal compounds are used as pigmentsTiO2 = whitePbCrO4 = yellowFe4[Fe(CN)6]3 (prussian blue)= blueTransition metal compounds are used in many industrial processes

#Introductiond-block elements The elements of periodic table belonging to group 3 to 12 are known as d-Block elements. because in these elements last electron enters in d sub shell or d orbitallocate between the s-block and p-blockoccur in the fourth and subsequent periods of the Periodic Table

#Transition elements are elements that contain an incomplete d sub-shell (i.e. d1 to d9) in at least one of the oxidation states of their compounds.

#

How are d - Block Elements & Transition elements different?Not all d block elements are transition elements but all transition elements are d-block elementsNot all d block elements are transition elements because d block elements like Zinc have full d10 configuration in their ground state as well as in their common oxidation state which is not according to definition of transition elements.

#IntroductionSc and Zn are not transition elements becauseThey form compounds with only one oxidation state in which the d sub-shell are NOT incomplete.Sc Sc3+ 3d0Zn Zn2+ 3d10

Which of the d-block elements may not be regarded as the transition elements?Why Zn, Cd and Hg are not considered as transition elements.Copper atom has completely filled d orbital (3d10) in its ground state, yet it is transition element. WhySilver atom has completely filled d orbital (4d10) in its ground state, yet it is transition element. WhyWhy the very name transition given to the elements of d-block .

#Zn, Cd and Hg

Because they do not have vacant d-orbitals neither in the atomic state nor in any stable oxidation state.

Copper (Z = 29) can exhibit +2 oxidation state wherein it will have incompletely filled d-orbitals (3d), hence a transition element.

Silver (Z = 47) can exhibit +2 oxidation state wherein it will have incompletely filled d-orbitals (4d), hence a transition element.

The very name transition given to the elements of d-block is only because of their position between s and p block elements.

#1. Complexes with Monodentate LigandsA ligand that forms one dative covalent bond only is called a monodentate ligand. Examples:neutral CO, H2O, NH3anionic Cl, CN, OH

#

#The transition metal ion is the Lewis acid since it accepts lone pairs of electrons from the ligands in forming dative covalent bonds. The ligand is the Lewis base since it donates a lone pair of electrons to the transition metal ion in forming dative covalent bonds. In the formation of complexes, classify the transition metal ion and the ligand as a Lewis acid or base. Explain your answer briefly.

#2. Complexes with Bidentate LigandsA ligand that can form two dative covalent bonds with a metal atom or ion is called a bidentate ligand.A ligand that can form more than one dative covalent bond with a central metal atom or ion is called a chelating ligand.
