Question
Comment on the statement that elements of the first transition series possess many properties different from those of heavier transition elements.
Advertisements
Solution
- In the first transition series, lower oxidation states are more stable, while heavier transition elements have higher oxidation states.
- The 5d transition series exhibits higher ionization enthalpy compared to the 3d and 4d transition series.
- M-M bonding is prevalent in heavier transition metals, but less so in the first series.
- The elements in the first transition series do not form complexes with coordination numbers of 7 or 8.
- Elements in the first series can form high or low-spin complexes based on ligand strength, while those in the other series form low-spin complexes regardless of ligand strength.
