What this Transition and Inner Transition Elements sheet covers
s-block
d-block (transition)
f-block (inner transition)
Electronic Configuration and the Cr/Cu Exceptions
Trends in Atomic Properties
Magnetic Moment (Spin-Only)
spin-only formula, n = number of unpaired electrons, μ in Bohr Magneton
Colour and Catalytic Activity
Interstitial Compounds vs Alloys
Interstitial compounds
Alloys
KMnO4 and K2Cr2O7: Preparation
KMnO4 and K2Cr2O7 as Oxidisers
KMnO_4 in acid, oxidises I^- to I_2
KMnO_4 in acid, oxidises Fe^2+ to Fe^3+
K_2Cr_2O_7 in acid, oxidises I^- to I_2
Extraction of Iron: the Blast Furnace
Reactions in the Blast Furnace, by Zone
combustion zone (~2000 K, near tuyeres): coke burns to CO, strongly exothermic
reduction zone (~900 K): Fe2O3 reduced mainly by CO
slag formation: limestone decomposes, then CaO scavenges the silica gangue
These notes are not a standalone PDF. CapCompass plans Chemistry chapter by chapter against your real exam dates and free hours, and when the plan reaches Transition and Inner Transition Elements the sheet opens inside the study block itself — at the page covering the sub-topic that block is on, with the timer still running. Revision arrives at the moment the plan says revise, instead of having to be gone looking for.
