20.1 A Survey of the Transition Metals→ Recall the Representative Elements, Groups 1A – 8A:

• Chemical similarities occur within the vertical groupsE.g. LiCl

NaClKClRbClCsCl

all ionic compounds

• Large changes in chemistry across a given period as the number of valence electrons changesE.g. Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar

— increasing metallic character— decreasing ionization energy

NaCl MgCl2 AlCl3 … PCl5

Ionic Covalentmolecules

→ Transition Metals• Similarities within a given period as well as within a given vertical group.

this huge contrast with the representative elements is due to the fact that the last electrons added to the transition metal elements are inner electrons:• d electrons in d – block transition metals• f electrons in the lanthanides and actinides

Page 9: 20.1 The Transition Metals: A Survey 20.2 The First-Row Transition Metals 20.3 Coordination Compounds 20.4 Isomerism 20.5 Bonding in Complex Ions: The

– the inner d and f electrons cannot participate in bonding as readily as the s and p electrons.

• Characteristics of the transition metals

– typical metals

• metallic luster

• high electrical and thermal conductivities

• Differences in Physical Properties among the transition metals can be large

– E.g. W, tungsten (mp = 3400℃) vs Hg, mercury (mp < 25℃)

– hard and high strength vs soft

Fe, iron and Ti Cu, Au, Ag

– ready rxn w/ O2 to form oxides vs no rxn with O2

Cr, Ni, Co, Al, Fe Au, Ag, Pt, Pd

• Ionic compounds with nonmetals

– Often more than one oxidation state

E.g. FeCl2 FeCl3

+2 +3

– the cations are often complex ions, species in which the transition metal ion is surrounded by a number of ligands.

— Ligands are molecules or ions that behave as Lewis bases, i.e. have a lone pair of electrons.

• Most compounds of the transition metals are colored.— the transition metal ion can absorb visible light.

• Many transition metal compounds are paramagnetic.— because they contain unpaired electrons

Electron Configurations (See Section 12.13)• The 3d orbitals begin to fill after the 4s orbital is complete.e.g. Sc: [Ar]4s23d1

Ti: 4s23d2

Y: 4s23d3

Cr: 4s13d5

Mn: 4s23d5

: Cu: 4s13d10

Zn: 4s23d10

• for most elements of the first-row transition metals 4s23dn has a lower energy than 4s13dn+1 except chromium and copper.•The 4s and 3d orbital energies are very similar.

(See Table 20.2)

• Electron configurations of ions of the first-row transition metals— the energy of the 3d orbitals is significantly less than that of the 4s orbital.E.g. Sc: 4s23d1 Sc2+: 3d1

Ti: 4s23d2 Ti3+: 3d1

Zn: 4s23d10 Zn2+: 3d10

— these ions do not have 4s electrons (since the 3d orbitals are lower in energy)

• Oxidation States and Ionization Energies• Various ions formed by losing electrons E.g. Ti → Ti2+, Ti3+, Ti4+

4s23d2 most common (See Table 20.2)— to the right of the row the higher oxidation states are not observed because the 3d orbitals become lower in energy as the nuclear charge increases, making electrons difficult to remove.e.g. Zn → Zn2+ {Zn3+, Zn6+, Zn10+, etc ← NOT OBSERVED} 4s23d10 observed (See Figure 20.2)

Standard Reduction Potentials

• The potential of the half-reaction

M(s) → Mn+ + ne-

characterizes the reducing ability of the metal.

• this is the reverse of usually tabulated half-reactions and the potentials are opposite in sign to tabulated values in Table 20.2.

• Since by definition ξo = 0 for: 2H+ + 2e- → H2

all the first-row transition metals, except copper, can reduce H+ ions to hydrogen gas in 1M aqueous solutions of strong acids:M(s) + 2H+

(aq) → H2 (g) + M2+(aq)

The 4d and 5d Transition Series• Comparison of the atomic radii of 3d, 4d, and 5d elements

See Figure 20.3— general decrease in size in going from left to right across each series— significant increase in size from 3d to 4d— 4d and 5d metals are very similar in size

this is due to the lanthanide contraction.lanthanide series: elements between lanthanum (La) and hafnium (Hf) ↑filling of 4f orbitals which are in the interior of the atoms do not affect size of the 5d elements

• 4d and 5d transition metals, though not as common as 3d metals, have some very useful properties. E.g. The platinum group metals – Ru, Os, Rh, Ir, Pd and Pt – are widely used as catalysts in many industrial processes.

20.3 Coordination Compounds

• A coordination compound consists of a complex ion and counter ions.

– it is an ionic compound, electrically neutral.

– complex ion = transition metal ion + attached ligands.

E.g. [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2

Co(NH3)5Cl2+ ← complex ion

2 Cl- ← counter ions (anions)

– coordination compounds ionize in solutions (similar to simple salts)

[Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 (s) Co(NH3)5Cl2+(aq) + 2 Cl-

(aq)

• Coordination Number of Metal Ions

– The number of bonds formed between a metal ion and the ligands in the complex ion is termed the coordination number.

– depending on the size, charge, and electron configuration of the transition metal ion, the coordination number can be from 2 to 8.

H2O

Page 29: 20.1 The Transition Metals: A Survey 20.2 The First-Row Transition Metals 20.3 Coordination Compounds 20.4 Isomerism 20.5 Bonding in Complex Ions: The

– many metal ions show more than one coordination number.

– for the typical geometries for the various typical coordination numbers see Figure 20.6.

Ligands

– a neutral molecule or ion having a lone pair that can be used to form a bond with a metal ion.

• Lewis bases by definition are ligands

• the metal ion is a Lewis acid

– a metal – ligand bond is called a coordinative covalent bond.

• it results from a Lewis acid – base interaction in which a ligand donates an electron pair to an empty orbital on a metal ion.
