hh

which rows of transition metals have the same size atomic radius?

2nd and 3rd row

Fe

ferrate

isoelectronic

having the same number of electrons or electronic structure

diamagnetic

all e- are paired, responds poorly or has no response to magnetic field

Ag

argentate

Au

aurate

polydentate ligands are good

chelating agents that help bind up or isolate the metal by making two or more connections to it

optical isomers

chiral

geometric isomers

cis/trans/fac/mer

ligand bond

covalent bond between a transition metal and ligand

Cu

cuprate

shell order electron configurations

lose electrons from highest orbital to fill lower orbitals

ligand

neutral or anion molecules

coordination number

number of connections between metal and ligand

monodentate

one bond from ligand to metal

Pb

plumbate

lanthanide contraction

poor shielding by f electrons

linkage isomers

same ligand is bound to the metal in different ways

paramagnetic

some unpaired e-, responds to a magnetic field. greater unpaired e- the greater the response

Sn

stannate
