CHEMISTRY OF THE ELEMENTS

OBJECTIVES

• Describe the characteristics of transition elements.
• Determine the electronic configuration of the first row transition elements and of their ions.
• Explain the relatively small charges in atomic radii and ionization energies of the elements across the period.
• Explain the formation of coloured ions in transition elements.
• Perform experiments to show the variation in oxidation states of vanadium.
• Discuss qualitatively the properties of transition elements when compared to those of calcium as a typical s-block element.
