chemistry discussion initial post and 4 responses in each class for the next 3 day

Chem(6.1)

What are Transition Metals?

1. You need to respond to my questions and to at least four classmates substantially over three days in a manner that furthers the discussion. Some ideas for responses might be:

2. Go a step further and explain what specifically happens to transition metals that results in solutions that give off distinct colors.

3. Give an example of a specific transition metal solution, including the oxidation state of the transition metal, and the color of the solution, and the complex ion that the transition metal forms in that solution if applicable.

Chem (6.2)

What are complex ions?

1. You need to respond to my questions and to at least four classmates substantially over three days in a manner that furthers the discussion. Some ideas for responses might be:

2. Go a step further and explain how complex ions are formed, and how to name a complex ion.

3. Give an example of a specific complex ion including EITHER it’s formula or its name. Ask your fellow classmates to give either the missing name or formula using the rules for naming complex ions to explain how the name or formula was determined.
