An element that forms at least one ion with a partially filled d-subshell.
1 of 13
What 2 d-block elements are not transition metals?
Zinc & Scandium
2 of 13
What is a catalyst?
A substance that increases the rate of a reaction without being changed or used up. Lowers the activation energy of a reaction.
3 of 13
How does a catalyst work?
Provides an alternative reaction pathway.
4 of 13
What is a homogeneous catalyst?
Catalyst is in the same state as the reactants.
5 of 13
What is a heterogeneous catalyst?
Catalyst is in a different state to the reactants.
6 of 13
What is the catalyst for hydrogenation and what type of catalyst is it?
Nickel. Heterogeneous.
7 of 13

Iron (II) and Iron (III) ions. Homogeneous.
8 of 13
What is a dative covalent bond?
Where the bonding pair of electrons comes from one species.
9 of 13
What is a ligand?
An electron pair donor that forms dative covalent bonds to transition metal ions.
10 of 13
What is a complex ion?
A transition metal ion that has ligands datively covalently bonded to it.
11 of 13
What does the term bidentate mean?
There are 2 lone pairs of electrons on the ligand.
12 of 13
What is a coordination number?
The number of dative colvalent bonds to the transition metal ion.
