Exhibit more than one oxidation state
Many of their compounds are colored
They exhibit interesting magnetic properties.
They form an extensive series of compounds
known as metal complexes or coordination
compounds.

Transition Metals
TRANSITION METALS: ScMn
Oxidation States:
Highest oxidation states of Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn = number of
valence (4s + 3d) electrons.

Trend from Sc  Mn:
The max. oxidation state becomes increasingly unstable.
Sc3+, Ti4+ are stable (maximum oxidation states).
Sc2O3
Stable oxide.
Mn7+
Exists but is easily reduced.
MnO4Strong oxidizing agent.
Magnetic Properties
Diamagnetic:
unaffected by a magnetic field
no unpaired electrons
Paramagnetic:
influenced by a magnetic field
unpaired electrons
Transition metals and their compounds are often
paramagnetic
Have unpaired d-electrons
Eg.
Ti2+
Mn2+
TRANSITION METAL IONS
Transition metal ions are Lewis acids  they accept
electron pairs.
Ligands are Lewis bases  molecules or ions which
donate electron pairs.
Ligands bonded to metal ions  metal complexes or
coordination compounds.
Coordination number:
number of electron donor atoms attached to the metal.
Chelates are ligands possessing two or more donor
atoms.
COORDINATION COMPOUNDS
• Metals-Lewis acids
• Ligands -Lewis bases.
Ligand molecules have lone pair electrons.
– Anions F, Cl, Br, CN, SCN, NO2, etc.
– Neutral ligands: NH3, H2O, CO
• mono-dentate -(single claw to hold onto metal d orbital)
Ex. :NH3, H-:O:-H , CH3-:O:-H
• Bi-dentate -(has 2 claws to hold onto metal d orbitals). Has 2
or more functional groups on ligands that have lone pairs
Example :NH2-CH2-CH2-H2N:
(= en or ethylenediammine)

PROPERTIES OF TRANSITION METALS
Transition Metal Complexes have different properties –
• color (all except Zn or Sc3+ white compounds)
• solubility-depends on complex reduction potential
– lower than free ions

USES OF TRANSITION METALS
Ti
Lighter and stronger than steel.
Ti and its alloys are used in jet engines, planes, and in special high
temp applications, e.g. in the reentry shield on the Apollo capsules.
TiO2 is a white pigment in all white paints.
V
Vanadium steel (Fe/V alloy) is the toughest steel known. It is used
in car springs.
V2O5 is a catalyst used in sulfuric acid production.
Cr
Stainless Steel = 73% Fe,18% Cr, 8% Ni, 1% C
Chromium is electroplated to make shiny metal parts.
Mn
Mn steel (Fe/Mn alloy) is very tough and can withstand shock and
abrasion – used in bulldozer blades and armor plates on warships.
