DfES Standards Unit, Success for All Materials for learners TRANSITION METALS CARD ACTIVITY WHAT YOU NEED TO DO This activity consists of three tasks. Task 1 Work with a partner and try to do this task without your notes. Collect the blank grids and set of cards. Match the complex on the cards with its shape and colour. When you have completed the matching, remove the cards one at a time and write your results on the grid. Keep these in your notes to help your revision. NB One is not a transition metal complex. Circle it on your grid. Task 2 Collect a copy of the worksheet. Use the complexes on the cards to complete it. Use each complex only once so you can work out some of the answers by a process of elimination. Task 3 You will need the cards containing the complexes of chromium, cobalt and copper, together with some extra cards to complete this task. Use the cards to construct summary charts for some important reactions of [Cr(H2O)6]3+, [Co(H2O)6]2+, [Cu(H2O)6]2+. Note: You may not need all of the cards.

Use each complex once only. 1. This complex ion is present in Tollen’s reagent, used to differentiate between aldehydes and ketones. 2. Two of these ions are formed when excess dilute sodium hydroxide solution is added to their corresponding hydroxides. 3. Two of these ions undergo hydrolysis to produce acidic solutions. 4. This aqua ion is stabilised by the presence of acid but rapidly turns brown in alkali. 5. An aqueous solution containing the metal ion X is treated with aqueous ammonia added dropwise to excess. Initially the precipitate A forms but this dissolves in excess forming a complex B which rapidly darkens in colour when exposed to air. The final solution contains complex C. Identify A, B and C. 6. A solution containing this ion can be used to quantitatively estimate the percentage of iron(II) in lawnsand. 7. D is unstable in acid solution and dimerises to form an orange solution. Identify D. 8. An example of a complex formed by incomplete ligand substitution. 9. This unstable ion only exists in contact with zinc or in the absence of air. 10. Impregnated onto filter paper this ion is used to test for the presence of water. If water is present, it turns pink. 11. The formation of this complex from the aqua ion involves a change in coordination number. The metal ion present has a 3d9 configuration.
