• Recall the definition of a co-ordinate (dative covalent) bond
• Recall how to predict the shapes of simple molecules and ions
THE FIRST ROW TRANSITION ELEMENTS

‘Aufbau’
Principle
In numerical terms one would expect the 3d orbitals to be filled next.
However, because the principal energy levels get closer together as you go further
from the nucleus coupled with the splitting into sub energy levels, the 4s orbital is
of a LOWER ENERGY than the 3d orbitals so gets filled first.

As expected, the next electron in pairs up to complete a filled 4s orbital.
This explanation, using sub levels fits in with the position of potassium and
calcium in the Periodic Table. All elements with an -s1 electronic configuration are
in Group I and all with an -s2 configuration are in Group II.

COLOURED IONS
A characteristic of transition metals is their ability to form coloured compounds
Theory
ions with a d10 (full) or d0 (empty) configuration are colourless
ions with partially filled d-orbitals tend to be coloured
it is caused by the ease of transition of electrons between energy levels
energy is absorbed when an electron is promoted to a higher level
the frequency of light is proportional to the energy difference
ions with
or
d10 (full) Cu+,Ag+ Zn2+
d0 (empty) Sc3+ configuration are colourless
e.g. titanium(IV) oxide TiO2 is white
colour depends on ...
transition element
oxidation state
ligand
coordination number
3d ORBITALS
There are 5 different orbitals of the d variety
xy
xz
x2-y2
yz
z2
SPLITTING OF 3d ORBITALS
Placing ligands around a central ion causes the energies of the d orbitals to change
Some of the d orbitals gain energy and some lose energy
In an octahedral complex, two (z2 and x2-y2) go higher and three go lower
In a tetrahedral complex, three (xy, xz and yz) go higher and two go lower
OCTAHEDRAL
TETRAHEDRAL
3d
3d
Degree of splitting depends on the
CENTRAL ION
and the
LIGAND
The energy difference between the levels affects how much energy is absorbed when
an electron is promoted. The amount of energy governs the colour of light absorbed.
COLOURED IONS
The observed colour of a solution depends on the wavelengths absorbed
Copper sulphate solution appears blue because the energy absorbed corresponds to
red and yellow wavelengths. Wavelengths corresponding to blue light aren’t absorbed.
