Transition metal complexes- Complex Ion Formation

Transition metal complexes

Transition metal complexes, also known as coordination complexes, are molecules with groups organized around a central metal ion. In some ways, these are similar to “lego-molecules,” as they can be easily constructed from smaller pieces and sometimes converted into new … Read more

Buffer Solution- Types, Properties, and Uses

Buffer solutions are also useful in chemical and biochemical processes where pH control is critical. A constant pH is required for many biological and chemical reactions to proceed. In these systems, buffers are extremely useful to maintain pH. Buffers are extremely … Read more

Transition Metals: Definition, Properties and Uses

Transition Metals Definition, Properties and Uses

The periodic table elements are frequently classified into four groups: (1) main group elements, (2) transition metals, (3) lanthanides, and (4) actinides. Transition elements are elements found in Groups 3-12 of the periodic table (old groups IIA-IIB). The word refers … Read more
