Unit 13 LA C Applications of
Inorganic Chemistry
, Transition metals
-metals that produce at least one stable ion with a d-orbital that is only partially filled
-Every transition metal is a metal, and they are all tightly packed and have strong metallic
connections.
-The d-block elements zinc and scandium are not transition metals.
-Have variable oxidation states
-Higher oxidation states allow lower oxidation states to receive electrons.
