Transition Metals: Definitions

?
d-BLOCK
Elements with those in which the last electron has gone into a d-orbital
1 of 9
Transition metal
An element which forms at least one stable ion with a partially filled d-subshell
2 of 9
Coordinate bond
When two atoms share a pair of electrons, where both electrons are supplied by one atom
3 of 9
Ligand
An ion or molecule, with a lone pair of electrons, which forms a coordinate bond with a central metal atom or ion in a complex
4 of 9
Monodentate ligand
A ligand which uses one lone pair of electrons to form a coordinate bond with a central metal atom or ion in a complex
5 of 9
Bidentate ligand
A ligand which uses two lone pair of electrons to form two coordinate bonds with a central metal atom or ion in a complex
6 of 9
Polydentate ligand
A ligand which uses many lone pair of electrons to form more than two coordinate bonds with a central metal atom or ion in a complex
7 of 9
Complex ion
A central metal atom or ion with ligands bonded by coordinate bonds
8 of 9
Coordination number
The total number of coordinate bonds from ligands to the central transition metal ion of a complex ion
