Lesson: Electronic Configurations of Transition Metals Chemistry

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe the electronic configurations of transition metals and the formation of their ions.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

state the electronic configuration of the first row of d-block elements and associated ions,
explain the relationship between the electronic configuration and the oxidation state of the transition element,
use examples of electronic configurations of a transition metal to define that transition metal.
