  2. Transition metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_metal

    The 2011 IUPAC Principles of Chemical Nomenclature describe a "transition metal" as any element in groups 3 to 12 on the periodic table. [4] This corresponds exactly to the d-block elements, and many scientists use this definition. [5] [6] In actual practice, the f-block lanthanide and actinide series are called "inner transition metals".

    Alkali metals: The metals of group 1: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr Alkaline earth metals: The metals of group 2: Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra Transition elements * Elements in groups 3 to 11 or 3 to 12 (the latter making up the d-block) Pnictogens: The elements of group 15: N, P, As, Sb, Bi † Chalcogens: The elements of group 16: O, S, Se, Te, Po † Halogens

  4. Catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalysis

    Catalysis (/ k ə ˈ t æ l ə s ɪ s /) is the increase in rate of a chemical reaction due to an added substance known as a catalyst [1] [2] (/ ˈ k æ t əl ɪ s t /). Catalysts are not consumed by the reaction and remain unchanged after it. [ 3 ]

  5. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    a Group 1 is composed of hydrogen (H) and the alkali metals. Elements of the group have one s-electron in the outer electron shell. Hydrogen is not considered to be an alkali metal as it is not a metal, though it is more analogous to them than any other group. This makes the group somewhat exceptional.

  6. Lewis acid catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Acid_Catalysis

    Common Lewis acid catalysts are based on main group metals such as aluminum, boron, silicon, and tin, as well as many early (titanium, zirconium) and late (iron, copper, zinc) d-block metals. The metal atom forms an adduct with a lone-pair bearing electronegative atom in the substrate, such as oxygen (both sp 2 or sp 3), nitrogen, sulfur, and ...

  7. Chemical symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_symbol

    Chemical symbols are the abbreviations used in chemistry, mainly for chemical elements; but also for functional groups, chemical compounds, and other entities. Element symbols for chemical elements, also known as atomic symbols , normally consist of one or two letters from the Latin alphabet and are written with the first letter capitalised.

  9. Transmetalation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmetalation

    During transmetalation the metal-carbon bond is activated, leading to the formation of new metal-carbon bonds. [2] Transmetalation is commonly used in catalysis , synthesis of main group complexes, and synthesis of transition metal complexes.
