Evaluation Questions

    1(a) What are transition Elements?

    Answer: Transition elements are elements with partially filled d-orbitals.

     

    (b) State, with examples, four characteristic properties of transition Elements.

    Answer:

    i) Variable oxidation states e.g. 25Mn ⇒ +2, +3, +4, +6, +7

    ii) Formation of complex ions e.g. [Cu(NH3)4]2+

    iii) Formation of coloured compounds e.g. Ni2+ ⇒ Green

    iv) Catalytic activity e.g. Nickel in the production of Ethane from ethane

     

    (c) Which of the following metals belongs to the first transition Series? Chromium, Lead, Sodium, Manganese, Aluminium.

    Answer:  Chromium and Manganese

     

    2(a) Explain why transition metals have variable oxidation states

    Answer:  Transition metals exhibit variable oxidation states because the 4s electrons are available for bond formation

     

    (b) Give the reason why Zinc, 30Zn does not exhibit the characteristics properties of transition Elements.

    Answer:  Zinc does not exhibit characteristic properties of transition elements because it doesn’t have a partially filled d-orbital but completely filled d-orbital.

     

    3(a) The Oxidation number of Copper in its compounds is either +1 or +2. Give the name and formula of a compound in which Copper has

    (i) +1 Oxidation State

    Answer: Cuprous chloride ⇒ CuCl

    (ii) +2 Oxidation State

    Answer:  +2 oxidation state ⇒ [Cu (NH3)4]2+

     

    (b)(i) What is a Complex Ion

    Answer: A complex ion consists of a central metal cation to which several anions or molecules called ligands are bonded.

     

    (ii) Name two metals that form Complex ions, giving an example in each case   

    Answer:

    Copper Cu e.g. [Cu(NH3)4]2+

    Iron Fe e.g. [Fe(CN)6]3-
