y Maximum oxidation state maximum number of electronsavailable for bonding
y The maximum number of oxidation states increases fromSc to Mn- because all the electrons from the 4s and 3d can be
used for reaction.- eg. Ti(+4) and Mn(+7)
y The maximum number of oxidation states decreases fromMn to Zn- because of the decrease in the number of unpaired
3d electrons.- eg. Ni(+4)

Cations and Oxo Ions of Transition
Elementsy Transition elements in lower oxidation states (+1, +2,
+3) exist as simple cations.
y However, higher oxidation states (+4 to +7) do notform free aqueous ions- due to their high charge density which will polarise
the water molecules, thus resulting in the formationof oxo-anions.- oxo ions[dichromate(VI), manganate(VII)] usually
have covalent bonds

y Transition metal ions are good oxidising agents

Formation of Coloured Ions and Compounds
y In general, why does a transition metal complex appear to
have colour?
It absorbs light at specific wavelengths in visible
regions of electromagnetic spectrum
o Different colours result when certain wavelengths of
light is reflected, transmitted or absorbed after hitting
the substance.
o The reflected light gives the colour of the substance.

y In an isolated transition metal ion that is not bonded toany other atoms, all five 3dorbital's have the same energy(degeneratedegenerate).
y However in complexes (influence of ligandsinfluence of ligands), the five 3dorbitals are split into two groups with an energy gapbetween them (they are nonthey are non--degeneratedegenerate).
y The energy difference,energy difference, E,E, between the 2 groups of 3dorbital's corresponds to the visible region.
y When the ligands bond with the transition metal ion, thereis repulsion between the electrons in the ligands and theelectrons in the d-orbital's of the metal ion. That raises theraises the
energy of the denergy of the d--orbital's.orbital's.
y However, because of the way the d orbital's are arranged inspace, it doesn't raise all their energies by the sameamount. Instead, it splits them into two groups.splits them into two groups.

Suppose that the energy gap in the d-orbital's of the complex ioncorresponded to the energy of yellow light.
The yellow light would be absorbed because its energy would be used inpromoting the electron. That leaves the other colours.
Your eye would see the light passing through as a dark blue, becauseblue is the complementary colour of yellow.

y In order for the d-dtransition to occur , ion must havea partially filled dsubshell.
a)Scandium(III) & titanium(IV) complexes are colourless.Sc3+ and Ti4+ ions have emptydsubshells. No d-dtransitionoccurs.
b) Zinc(II) & copper(II) complexes are also colourless. The 3dorbitals are fully filled, no d-dtransition is possible.
c)Metal ions (eg. Na+) have fully filled outer shells. To excitethe electrons to the next available orbital requires highenergy radiation beyond the range of visible light.
Therefore, most ionic group compounds are colourless.

y For a reaction to occur, the reacting particles must collide with oneanother.
y Collision with energy equal to or greater than the activation energy willresult in the formation of products.
y A catalyst provides an alternative route for the reaction. Thatalternative route has a lower activation energy.
