d- block Elements --- previous years Board paper questions
1. Explain the following
i) Cr2+ is reducing in nature, while with same d configuration,(d 4) Mn3+ is oxidizing. ii) In transition series of metals, the metal which exhibits the greatest number of oxidation state is in the middle of the series. iii) Cu(1) is not stable in an aqueous solution/ iv) Unlike Cr3+, Mn2+, Fe3+ and the subsequent other M2+ ions of the 3d series of elements, the 4d and 5d series do not form stable cationic species. v) Transition metals and their compounds are generally found to be as good catalyst. vi) Metal-metal bonding is more frequent for the 4d and 5d series of transition metals than that for 3d series. vii) Transition elements and their compound generally exhibit paramagnetic behavior. viii) The chemistry of actinoids is not so smooth as that of lanthanoids. ix) Mn(II) undergoes disproportionation reaction easily. x) C0(II) easily oxidized in presence of strong ligands. xi) Sc salts are white in colour. xii) The lowest oxide of transition metals are basic, while the highest is amphoteric. xiii) The enthalpy of atomization of transition element is high. xiv) E0 (M2+/M) value for Cu is high. xv) Sc is regarded as a transition metal, while zinc is not. xvi) The transition metals have great tendency to form complex compounds xvii) There is a gradual decrease in size transition elements in a series with increasing atomic number. xviii) Lanthanum (z=59) and Lutetium (z=71) do not show colouration in solution. xix) There is a general increase in density of the element from Titanium to copper. xx) There occurs a much more frequent metal-metal bonding in compounds of heavy transition elements. xxi) The members of the actiniod series exhibits larger number of oxidation states than corresponding members of the lanthanoid series. 2.
