IB Chemistry 3.1.8 (HL) Transition element properties Questions
Practise identifying transition elements from electronic structure and explaining how their ions show typical properties such as coloured compounds and redox catalysis.
How this is tested
- identify transition elements by a partially filled d subshell in a common oxidation state
- explain why Cu2+ can catalyse redox reactions but Cd2+ cannot, using variable oxidation states
- predict typical transition-element properties such as coloured ions and complex formation
