Study Notes

Scientific Terms in Chemistry

  • An incompletely filled d or f sublevel defines a transition element in its free state or in compounds.
  • Elements that resist atmospheric effects despite high reactivity are categorized as noble metals.
  • Substances with unpaired electrons are attracted to magnetic fields, indicating paramagnetism.
  • Substances with only paired electrons repel magnetic fields, categorizing them as diamagnetic.
  • Magnetic properties are determined by the presence of unpaired electrons in atoms, ions, or molecules.
  • Fine iron ore is processed through a collection method to produce larger particles for reduction.
  • Heating iron ore in air removes impurities and dries the ore, making it ready for processing.
  • Thermal decomposition of certain compounds can yield iron(II) oxide and carbon dioxide.
  • Transition elements fill the 3d sublevel successively in the periodic table.
  • Transition elements fill the 4d sublevel successively as we move across the table.
  • An alloy with identical atom sizes, chemical properties, and crystal structure is classified as an isomorphous alloy.
  • A protective oxide layer forms on metals, preventing further reactions.
  • Alloys may form through chemical bonding between different elements.
  • Purifying iron ore enhances the iron content, increasing the efficiency of reduction processes.
  • Transition elements fill the 5d sublevel and the 6d sublevel as we advance in the periodic table.
  • Some alloys are formed by introducing smaller atoms into the lattice of a pure metal, known as interstitial alloys.
  • The general formula for certain transition metals is represented as (n-1)d1:10, ns1:2.
  • The number of unpaired electrons found in d sublevels influences the magnetic characteristics of d-block elements.
  • A traditional alloy comprising copper and tin is widely known as bronze.
  • Brass refers to an alloy made from copper and zinc.
  • Hematite is a red iron ore that is easily reduced in chemical reactions.
  • Magnetite, a black iron ore, exhibits magnetic properties.
  • Goethite is a hydrated iron(III) oxide occurring in nature as an ore.
  • Siderite is identified as iron(II) carbonate.
  • The most reactive transition element is manganese, among first-row transition metals.

Selection Questions Key Answers
