Summary - Unit 3.2.5 - Transition metals (A-level only)
These Transition Metals notes are clear, concise, and exam-focused, written by an A/A+ A-Level Chemistry student. They break down complex ideas into simple, logical explanations while still covering the exact level of detail examiners look for. The notes include precise definitions, key trends, fully explained properties (variable oxidation states, coloured ions, catalytic behaviour, complex formation), and high-scoring examples that link directly to mark schemes. Perfect for last-minute revision, building strong understanding, or *pushing grades from B/A to A/A+.
