Inner transition element, a name given to any member of the f-block; Main-group element, an element other than a transition metal; Ligand field theory a development of crystal field theory taking covalency into account; Crystal field theory a model that describes the breaking of degeneracies of electronic orbital states
In physics, chemistry, and other related fields like biology, a phase transition (or phase change) is the physical process of transition between one state of a medium and another. Commonly the term is used to refer to changes among the basic states of matter : solid , liquid , and gas , and in rare cases, plasma .
What is in most respects a purely covalent structure can support metallic delocalization of electrons; metallic carbon nanotubes are one example. Transition metals and intermetallic compounds based on transition metals can exhibit mixed metallic and covalent bonding, [6] resulting in high shear strength, low ductility, and elevated melting ...
It is a silvery-metallic transition metal chemically similar to the lanthanides and has often been classified as a "rare-earth element". [8] Yttrium is almost always found in combination with lanthanide elements in rare-earth minerals and is never found in nature as a free element.
Periodic table extract showing the location of the post-transition metals. Zn, Cd and Hg are sometimes counted as post-transition metals rather than as transition metals. The dashed line is the traditional dividing line between metals and nonmetals. The symbols for the elements commonly recognized as metalloids are in italics. The status of ...
Everett Brown, 59, was arrested after he called 911 for help after his home was burglarized and he was attacked, but forgot to hide his cocaine when police arrived.
The judge in Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex-trafficking case has questions about the rap mogul's notepads. Someone wrote "Legal" on the pads in the days after prison officials took evidence photos of them.
Thallium is the first element in group 13 where the reduction of the +3 oxidation state to the +1 oxidation state is spontaneous under standard conditions. [11] Since bond energies decrease down the group, with thallium, the energy released in forming two additional bonds and attaining the +3 state is not always enough to outweigh the energy ...
