Coordination Compounds: Geometry and Nomenclature
We have been learning a lot about a wide variety of compounds, but we haven't really looked much at the transition metals. These also form compounds called coordination compounds, and the types of bonds involved in these compounds is...

Complex Ion Formation
Most transition metal cations can do something interesting in solution, they can interact with specific ligands to form complex ions. These coordinate covalent bonds are new territory, so let's get a mini introduction to inorganic...

Pseudo Noble Gas Electron Configurations
We've learned about electron configurations, and also about how this plays into ionization, given that elements will tend to ionize in such a way so as to achieve noble gas electron configuration. But certain transition metals will seek...

Transition metals and their properties
Transition metals all have similar and very useful physical and chemical properties. Their atoms can form ions with a variable charge which also gives them a range of colours in their compounds.
