  2. Transition metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_metal

    For example, Ti (Z = 22) is in period 4 so that n = 4, the first 18 electrons have the same configuration of Ar at the end of period 3, and the overall configuration is [Ar]3d 2 4s 2. The period 6 and 7 transition metals also add core (n − 2)f 14 electrons, which are omitted from the tables below.

  3. Period 3 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_3_element

    A period 3 element is one of the chemical elements in the third row (or period) of the periodic table of the chemical elements.The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behavior of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when chemical behavior begins to repeat, meaning that elements with similar behavior fall into ...

  4. List of chemistry mnemonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemistry_mnemonics

    A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.

  5. Period (periodic table) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_(periodic_table)

    Period 5 has the same number of elements as period 4 and follows the same general structure but with one more post transition metal and one fewer nonmetal. Of the three heaviest elements with biological roles, two (molybdenum and iodine) are in this period; tungsten, in period 6, is heavier, along with several of the early lanthanides.

  6. Main-group element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main-group_element

    Sometimes groups 3 and 12, as well as the lanthanides and actinides (the two rows at the bottom), are also included in the main group. In chemistry and atomic physics , the main group is the group of elements (sometimes called the representative elements ) whose lightest members are represented by helium , lithium , beryllium , boron , carbon ...

  7. Irving–Williams series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving–Williams_series

    The Irving–Williams series refers to the relative stabilities of complexes formed by transition metals. In 1953 Harry Irving and Robert Williams observed that the stability of complexes formed by divalent first-row transition metal ions generally increase across the period to a maximum stability at copper: Mn(II) < Fe(II) < Co(II) < Ni(II) < Cu(II) > Zn(II).

  8. Group 3 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_3_element

    Group 3 is the first group of transition metals in the periodic table. This group is closely related to the rare-earth elements. It contains the four elements scandium (Sc), yttrium (Y), lutetium (Lu), and lawrencium (Lr). The group is also called the scandium group or scandium family after its lightest member.

  9. Group 5 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_5_element

    It involves the formation of the metal iodide, in this example vanadium(III) iodide, and the subsequent decomposition to yield pure metal: [80] 2 V + 3 I 2 ⇌ 2 VI 3 Ferrovanadium chunks. Most vanadium is used as a component of a steel alloy called ferrovanadium. Ferrovanadium is produced directly by reducing a mixture of vanadium oxide, iron ...
