Explain the trend in atomic radius across the d-block.
Consider how protons interact with electrons.
What happens to the ionic radius when an atom forms a cation?
Think about the electron count before and after ionization.
What is the trend in atomic radius across the d-block?
Think about the relationship between protons and electrons.
True or False: Electrons in transition metals always have the same ionization energy regardless of their oxidation state.
Consider how removing an electron from different states affects energy.
How would you explain the importance of effective nuclear charge in determining the ionization energy trends observed across and down the d-block?
Conceptualize how protons interact with surrounding electrons.
Graph the trend in oxidation state stability for the transition metals and describe the underlying factors causing this variation.
Think of how the d-subshell occupancy impacts oxidation state viability.
