A Level - Unit-24 Transition Elements

This document outlines the learning objectives and schedule for a 10-day unit on transition elements in an A-Level chemistry course. The unit will cover the general properties of the first row transition elements from titanium to copper, including their variable oxidation states, role as catalysts, ability to form complex ions and colored compounds. Students will learn about ligand field theory and the splitting of d-orbitals, and how this relates to color. The schedule details classroom activities like inquiry-based instruction, numerical problems, and note-making. Assessments will evaluate students' scientific knowledge, skills in explaining phenomena, and ability to locate and present information. Resources listed for additional study include online textbooks and practice question papers.

UNIT-24
TRANSITION ELEMENTS
DURATION:
MONTH: OCTOBER

WEEK-1
10 DAYS
LEARNING
✘OBJECTIVES
General physical and chemical properties of the first row of
transition elements, titanium to copper
✘ Define a transition element as a d-block element which forms one
or more stable ions with incomplete d orbitals
✘ Sketch the shape of a 3dxy orbital and 3dz2 orbital
✘ Understand that transition elements have the following properties:
(a) they have variable oxidation states (b) they behave as catalysts
(c) they form complex ions (d) they form coloured compounds
LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
✘ Explain why transition elements have variable oxidation states in
terms of the similarity in energy of the 3d and the 4s sub-shells
✘ Explain why transition elements behave as catalysts in terms of
having more than one stable oxidation state, and vacant d orbitals
that are energetically accessible and can form dative bonds with
ligands
✘ Explain why transition elements form complex ions in terms of
vacant d orbitals that are energetically accessible
LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
✘ Define and use the terms degenerate and non-degenerate d orbitals
✘ Describe the splitting of degenerate d orbitals into two non-degenerate sets of d
orbitals of higher energy, and use of ΔE in: (a) octahedral complexes, two higher
and three lower d orbitals (b) tetrahedral complexes, three higher and two lower
d orbitals
✘ Explain why transition elements form coloured compounds in terms of the
frequency of light absorbed as an electron is promoted between two non-
degenerate d orbitals
✘ Describe, in qualitative terms, the effects of different ligands on ΔE, frequency of
light absorbed, and hence the complementary colour that is observed
LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
✘ Describe the types of stereoisomerism shown by complexes,
including those associated with bidentate ligands.

✘ Define the stability constant, Kstab, of a complex as the equilibrium


constant for the formation of the complex ion in a solvent (from its
constituent ions or molecules)
