    Transition metals have incompletely filled d subshells, which gives them properties like distinctive coloring, paramagnetism, and the ability to form complex ions. They have close-packed structures, relatively small atomic radii, and high melting points and densities due to strong metallic bonds. Periodic trends show that transition metals have increasing ionization energy and electronegativity but decreasing atomic radius from left to right on the periodic table.

    ions

    -distinctive coloring
    Zn, Cd, Hg
    -paramagnetic compounds
    -catalytic activity
    -complex ions
    and so we will focus on ….
    - have a close-packed structure (CN=12)
    - have relatively small atomic radii
    General Physical - have strong metallic bonds
    Properties - have higher densities, higher melting points &
    boiling points, and higher heats of fusion &
    vaporization
    - electronegativity increases from left to right
    Periodic - Ionization energy increases from left to right
    Trends - atomic radius decreases from left to right
    - electrons are added to the 3d orbitals
    Electron - exceptions: Cr and Cu
    Configurations - electrons are removed first from the 4s orbitals
    and then from the 3d orbitals
    Oxidation
    States

    - electronegativity increases from left


    to right
    - Ionization energy increases from left
    to right
    - atomic radius decreases from left to
