Why do transition metal characteristics of elements arise in Ti-Cu
They have incomplete d subshell
Why is scqandium not a transition metal
Sc3+ ion has no d electrons
Why is titanium a transition metal
Titanium forms Ti3+ ions which has electronic configuration of [Ar] 3d1
Why might coordinate number and shape change when substitution used with Cl- ions
Only 4 will fit around the central metal ion because the chloride ligands are larger than the water ligands
What is heam
Iron (II) complex with multidentate ligand
4 N atoms in the porphyria ring form 4 coordinate bonds
How does oxygen bond to hemoglobin
Forms coordinate bond to Fe(II) in haemoglobin
Why si CO toxic
Replaces Oxygen coordinately bonded to Fe(II) in haemoglobin
Chelate effect
Bindentate and multidentate ligands replace monodentate ligands
What shape is often made with small ligands
E.g. H2O and NH3
Octahedral
What isomerism do octahedral complexes show
cis/trans with monodentate and optical isomerism with bidentate
What shape do TM often form with larger ligands
E,g, Cl-
Tetrahedral
What other shapes are formed
Square planar, cis trans isomerim
What is cisplatin
[Pt(NH3)2Cl2]
Is the cis isomer
Tollens reagent
[Ag(NH3)2]2+
How does colour arise
Metal ion absorbs light
D electrons are excited
Some of the wavelengths of visible light are absorbed and the complementary wavelengths are transmitted or reflected
Equation for difference between the ground state and excited state of d electrons
∆ E = h ν = hc /λ
E =2.718 energy, J
h = Planck constant = 6.63 x10 -34 Js
v = frequency, Hz/s-1
λ = wavelength, metres
c = speed of light m/s
Why are there changes in colo
Changes in oxidationns tate, cootdinate number and tupe of ligand change E of d electrons being excited, which leads to change in colour
Colour of [Cu(H2O)6]2+
Blue
Colour of [CuCl4]2-
Yellow/green
What are the 4 vanadium oxidation states
5+
4+
3+
2+
Colour of vanadium oxidation states
5+ = yellow
4+ = blue
3+ = green
2+ = violet
You better get vanadium
How are different vanadium species formed
By reduction with zinc
Order of reduction of vanadium
VO2 +
VO 2+
V3+
V2+
Why is conc HCl used to reduce vanadium
Acidic conditions favour reduction of TM
