General Properties:
• The transition metals show great similarities
within a given period and a group. Their
Chemistry does not change as number of
valence electron change.
• They are metals good conductors of heat and
electricity: Ex: Ag.
• More than one oxidation state.

Atomic and Physical Properties of
Transition Elements:
1. Atomic size decreases from left to right across
the period , but then remain fairly constant.
2. Transition elements exhibit a small change in
electronegativity. The values are intermediate.
3. First Ionization energies increase little.
4. Lanthanide contraction- 4f orbitals are filled,
increases overall charge on nucleus and not the
size.

Chemical Properties
1. They have multiple oxidation states.

readily lost.
3. Ionic bonding occurs in lower O.S and covalent in
higher O.S.
4. Electrons in a partially filled d sublevels can absorb
visible wavelengths and hence their compounds are
colored.
5. They are paramagnetic (unpaired d electrons)
6. IE1 increases down a group.

Sample Problem 23.2
PROBLEM:
PLAN:
Finding the Number of Unpaired Electrons
The alloy SmCo5 forms a permanent magent because both
samarium and cobalt have unpaired electrons. How many
unpaired electrons are in the Sm atom (Z = 62)?
Write the condensed configuration of Sm and, using Hund’s
rule and the aufbau principle, place electrons into a partial
orbital diagram.
SOLUTION: Sm is the eighth element after Xe. Two electrons go into the 6s
sublevel and the remaining six electrons into the 4f (which fills
before the 5d).
Sm is [Xe]6s24f6
6s
4f
There are 6 unpaired e- in Sm.

ligands and associated with other counter ions.
• Coordination compound: Complex transitional metal
ion attached to ligands.
• Two types of valance: 1. secondary Valence- Ability
of metal ion to bind to a Lewis base(ligands)Coordination number.

Structures of Complex Ions:
Coordination Numbers, Geometries, and Ligands
•Coordination Number - the number of ligand atoms that are bonded
directly to the central metal ion. The coordination number is specific for
a given metal ion in a particular oxidation state and compound.
•Geometry - the geometry (shape) of a complex ion depends on the
coordination number and nature of the metal ion.
•Donor atoms per ligand - molecules and/or anions with one or more
donor atoms that each donate a lone pair of electrons to the metal ion to
form a covalent bond.

Octahedral complexes:
• Dz2 and dx2-y2 orbitals have lobes that point
directly at the ligands.
• Dxy, dyz,dxy point their lobes between
charges.
• Electrons fill the d orbitals farthest from the
ligands to minimize repulsion.
• Dxy, dyz,dxy ( t2g set) are at lower energy in
octahedral complex first.
• Dz2 and dx2-y2 (eg set) is at higher energy.

Octahedral complexes:
• Splitting of 3d orbital energies explains color
and magnetism.
• Strong field case- splitting produced by ligands
is very large, electrons will pair in lower t2g
orbitals. Diamagnetic (all electrons are paired)
• Weak field case-splitting produced by ligands
is small, electrons will occupy all 5 orbitals
before pairing occurs. Paramagnetic( unpaired
electrons)

color.
• Transition metals absorb colors in the visible
region.

needed to move an electron from t2g to eg.
• Color of solution changes as the ligand
changes.

In tetrahedral complexes:
• None of the 3d orbitals point at the ligands.
• Tetrahedral splitting is 4/9 times that of
octahedral.
• Dxy, dyz,dxy are closer to pint charges than
Dz2 and dx2-y2.
• Weak field case always applies in tetrahedral

PROBLEM:
Ranking Crystal Field Splitting Energies for
Complex Ions of a Given Metal
Rank the ions [Ti(H2O)6]3+, [Ti(NH3)6]3+, and [Ti(CN)6]3- in terms of
the relative value of D and of the energy of visible light absorbed.
PLAN: The oxidation state of Ti is 3+ in all of the complexes so we are
looking at the crystal field strength of the ligands. The stronger the
ligand the greater the splitting and the higher the energy of the light
absorbed.
SOLUTION:
The field strength according to
is CN- > NH3 > H2O. So the
relative values of D and energy of light absorbed will be
[Ti(CN)6]3- > [Ti(NH3)6]3+ > [Ti(H2O)6]3+
