A level Transition Metal Notes

These are extensive handwritten notes I have taken during my A2 Level Edexcel Chemistry lessons (13 pages in Total). These notes include:

• The definition of transition metals
• Properties of Transition Metals
• Definition of Ligand
• How to Name ligands
• Definiton of Coordination Number
• Diagram of Bidentate and polydentate Ions
• Explanation of why complex ions are coloured
• Different Shapes of transition metal complexes ( Octahedral, Tetrahedral, Linear)
• Isomerism in Transition Metal complexes
• Reactions of Transition Metal complexes with examples
• Reactions of complexes with NaOH and NH3
• Reactions of Iron complexes
• Reactions of Chromium Complexes
• Reactions of Copper Complexes
• Reactions of Manganese, Vanidium and Zinc Complexes
• Short description of catalysts (Homogenous and Heterogenous with examples)
• Summary of reactions of majority of transiton metal complexes reactions with NaOH , excess NaOH. Ammonia and Excess Ammonia along with colours of products and reactants.
