Ch 23 cheat sheet - transition metals

Document preview thumbnail
Preview 1 out of 2 pages

This is a cheat sheet I made for Chem 2 at the University of Florida. It covers material about transition metals, valence bond theory, crystal field theory, and more from chapter 23 that is included on the final exam.
