The Heavier D-Block Metals

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the chemistry of second and third row d-block metals, this primer builds on foundational knowledge of first row metals. It explores essential topics such as periodic trends, aqueous solution chemistry, and redox properties. The book delves into coordination numbers, electronic spectra, magnetic properties, and metal-metal bonding, including complex interactions like triple and quadruple bonds. Additionally, it features a guide for further reading and a "Metals in Action" section that highlights practical applications of d-block metals in technology.
