LOGAM TRANSISI

Transition Metals

Similarities within a given period

and within a given group.

Last electrons added are inner electrons ( d’s, f’s).

Multiple Oxidation States
Metallic Behavior/Reducing Strength
Lower oxidation state = more metallic
 Color and Magnetism

e- in partially filled d sublevel absorbs visible light

moves to slightly higher energy d orbital

Magnetic properties due to unpaired electrons

Electronegativity increases down column
 Valence-State Electronegativity
Electronegativity, EN:
electron “pulling power”

Valence-state EN:
metal in higher oxidation state
is more positive
has stronger pull on electrons
is more electronegative
“Effective EN”
