Individual students may use the material at home for revision purposes or it may be used for classroom teaching if an interactive white board is available. Accompanying notes on this, and the full range of AS and A2 topics, are available from the KNOCKHARDY SCIENCE WEBSITE at... www.knockhardy.org.uk/sci.htm Navigation is achieved by... either clicking on the grey arrows at the foot of each page or using the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard

  3. TRANSITION METALS • CONTENTS • Definition • Metallic properties • Electronic configurations • Variable oxidation state • Coloured ions • Complex ion formation • Shapes of complexes • Isomerism in complexes • Catalytic properties

  4. TRANSITION METALS • Before you start it would be helpful to… • Recall the definition of a co-ordinate (dative covalent) bond • Recall how to predict the shapes of simple molecules and ions

  5. THE FIRST ROW TRANSITION ELEMENTS DefinitionD-block elements forming one or more stable ions with partially filled (incomplete) d-sub shells. The first row runs from scandium to zinc filling the 3d orbitals. Properties arise from an incomplete d sub-shell in atoms or ions

  6. THE FIRST ROW TRANSITION ELEMENTS DefinitionD-block elements forming one or more stable ions with partially filled (incomplete) d-sub shells. The first row runs from scandium to zinc filling the 3d orbitals. Properties arise from an incomplete d sub-shell in atoms or ions Metallic properties all the transition elements are metals strong metallic bonds due to small ionic size and close packing higher melting, boiling points and densities than s-block metals K Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co m. pt / °C 63 850 1400 1677 1917 1903 1244 1539 1495 density / g cm-3 0.86 1.55 3 4.5 6.1 7.2 7.4 7.9 8.9

However, because the principal energy levels get closer together as you go further from the nucleus coupled with the splitting into sub energy levels, the 4s orbital is of a LOWER ENERGY than the 3d orbitals so gets filled first.

  8. 4f 4d 4 4p ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATIONS OF THE FIRST ROW TRANSITION METALS CALCIUM INCREASING ENERGY / DISTANCE FROM NUCLEUS 3d 4s 3 3p 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 As expected, the next electron in pairs up to complete a filled 4s orbital. This explanation, using sub levels fits in with the position of potassium and calcium in the Periodic Table. All elements with an -s1 electronic configuration are in Group I and all with an -s2 configuration are in Group II.

  9. 4f 4d 4 4p ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATIONS OF THE FIRST ROW TRANSITION METALS SCANDIUM INCREASING ENERGY / DISTANCE FROM NUCLEUS 3d 4s 3 3p 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d1 With the lower energy 4s orbital filled, the next electrons can now fill p the 3d orbitals. There are five d orbitals. They are filled according to Hund’s Rule. BUT WATCH OUT FOR TWO SPECIAL CASES.

HUND’S RULE OF MAXIMUM MULTIPLICITY

  11. 4f 4d 4 4p ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATIONS OF THE FIRST ROW TRANSITION METALS VANADIUM INCREASING ENERGY / DISTANCE FROM NUCLEUS 3d 4s 3 3p 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d3 The 3d orbitals are filled according to Hund’s rule so the next electron doesn’t pair up but goes into an empty orbital in the same sub level. HUND’S RULE OF MAXIMUM MULTIPLICITY

To achieve a more stable arrangement of lower energy, one of the 4s electrons is promoted into the 3d to give six unpaired electrons with lower repulsion.

  21. COLOURED IONS A characteristic of transition metals is their ability to form coloured compounds Theory ions with a d10 (full) or d0 (empty) configuration are colourless ions with partially filled d-orbitals tend to be coloured it is caused by the ease of transition of electrons between energy levels energy is absorbed when an electron is promoted to a higher level the frequency of light is proportional to the energy difference ions with d10 (full) Cu+,Ag+ Zn2+ or d0 (empty) Sc3+ configuration are colourless e.g. titanium(IV) oxide TiO2 is white colour depends on ... transition element oxidation state ligand coordination number

  22. 3d ORBITALS There are 5 different orbitals of the d variety xy xz yz x2-y2 z2

  23. SPLITTING OF 3d ORBITALS Placing ligands around a central ion causes the energies of the d orbitals to change Some of the d orbitals gain energy and some lose energy In an octahedral complex, two (z2 and x2-y2) go higher and three go lower In a tetrahedral complex, three (xy, xz and yz) go higher and two go lower Degree of splitting depends on theCENTRAL ION and theLIGAND The energy difference between the levels affects how much energy is absorbed when an electron is promoted. The amount of energy governs the colour of light absorbed. OCTAHEDRAL TETRAHEDRAL 3d 3d

  24. COLOURED IONS The observed colour of a solution depends on the wavelengths absorbed Copper sulphate solution appears blue because the energy absorbed corresponds to red and yellow wavelengths. Wavelengths corresponding to blue light aren’t absorbed. WHITE LIGHT GOES IN SOLUTION APPEARS BLUE ENERGY CORRESPONDING TO THESE COLOURS IS ABSORBED Absorbed colour nm Observed colour nm VIOLET 400 GREEN-YELLOW 560 BLUE 450 YELLOW 600 BLUE-GREEN 490 RED 620 YELLOW-GREEN 570 VIOLET 410 YELLOW 580 DARK BLUE 430 ORANGE 600 BLUE 450 RED 650 GREEN 520
