5 Questions
Describe the general characteristics of the d– and f–block elements.
The d–block elements are in groups 3-12 of the periodic table, and the f–block elements are proving excellent sources of nuclear energy in modern times.
What are some important compounds that will be studied in Unit 8?
K2Cr2O7 and KMnO4
What are the objectives of Unit 8?
To learn the positions of the d– and f- block elements in the periodic table; know the electronic configurations of the transition (d-block) and the inner transition (f-block) elements; appreciate the relative stability of various oxidation states in terms of electrode potential values; describe the preparation, properties, structures and uses of some important compounds such as K2Cr 2O 7 and KMnO4 ; understand the general characteristics of the d– and f–block elements and the general horizontal and group trends in them; describe the properties of the f-block elements and give a comparative account of the lanthanoids and actinoids with respect to their electronic configurations, oxidation states and chemical behaviour.
Give a comparative account of the lanthanoids and actinoids with respect to their electronic configurations, oxidation states, and chemical behaviour.
This would involve comparing the electronic configurations, oxidation states, and chemical behavior of the lanthanoids and actinoids.
What are some examples of transition elements mentioned in the text?
Iron, copper, silver, and gold
Test your knowledge on the positions of d- and f-block elements in the periodic table, electronic configurations, oxidation states, and important compounds such as K2Cr2O7 and KMnO4. This quiz will also cover the preparation, properties, structures, and uses of these compounds.
