  • Transition metals
    • A d-block element that forms one or more stable ions with an incomplete filled d orbital
    • complex ions
      • A central metal cation surrounded by a dative covalently bonded ligand
        • Ligand - an atom, ion or molecule that donates a pair of electrons to a central metal ion
      • Coordination number is the number of dative covalent bonds that ligands form from the central metal ion
      • The  overall charge on the complex ions is the oxidation number
    • Colours
      • Copper(II) [Cu(H206]2+ = Blue
      • Iron(II) , Chromium(III)= Green
      • Iron(III) = Brown/ yellow
      • Cobalt(II) = Red/Pink
      • Chromate(IV) = Yellow
      • Dichromate(VI) = Orange
      • Manganate(VII) = Purple
    • Reactions with hydroxide
      • Copper(II) - blue solution turns into a pale blue precipitate - Precipitate is insoluble in excess NaOH
      • Iron(III) Yellow/brown aqueous solution to brown precipitate
      • Iron(II) - pale green solution aqueous to a green precipitate
      • Cobalt(II) - pink aqueous solution to a blue precipitate
      • Chromium(III) - green aqueous solution to green precipitate with excess NaOH precipitate dissolves to green solution
    • Reactions with Ammonia
      • Copper - blue aqueous solution to blue precipitate, with excess ammonia blue precipitate to dark blue solution
      • Iron(II)  - pale green aqueous solution to green precipitate
      • Iron(III) - yellow/ brown aqueous solution to brown precipitate
      • Cobalt(II) - pink aqueous solution to blue precipitate
        • Cobalt(II) ligand exchange - blue precipitate to brown aqueous solution
      • Chromium - green aqueous solution to green precipitate
        • Chromium ligand exchange - green precipitate to purple solution
