-
- identify the block occupied by the transition metals in the Periodic Table
- define the term transition element
- explain why transition metals may have more than one oxidation state
- account for colour changes in transition metal ions in terms of changing oxidation states
- explain, using the complex ions of a transition metal as an example, why species containing transition metals in a high oxidation state will be strong oxidising agents

-
-
- process and present information from secondary sources by writing electron configurations of the first transition series in terms of sub-shells
- perform a first-hand investigation to observe the colour changes of a named transition element as it changes in oxidation state
- solve problems and process information from secondary sources to write half-equations and account for the changes in oxidation state
- choose equipment, perform a first-hand investigation to demonstrate and gather first-hand information about the oxidising strength of KMnO4
