Dear Student,
Transition elements are metallic elements that have incomplete d or f shells in the neutral or cationic states. They are called also transition metals and make up 56 of the 103 elements. Although Sc and Y belong to the d-block, their properties are similar to those of lanthanoids. The chemistry of d-block and f-block elements differs considerably. This chapter describes the properties and chemistry of mainly d-block transition metals.
The period 5 transition metals are
yttrium (Y), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), molybdenum (Mo), technetium (Tc), ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), silver (Ag), and cadmium (Cd)
.
Happy Learning!
