What is the relationship between number of unpaired electrons and hardness of transition metal?

The number of unpaired electrons in a transition metal ion is directly related to its hardness. Transition metals with more unpaired electrons tend to be harder because the unpaired electrons can participate in bonding interactions, making the metal more resistant to deformation. This is known as the relationship between hardness and the d-orbital occupancy of transition metals.


Is tungsten a metal or a non metal?

Tungsten is a metal. It is a transition metal with the highest melting point of any element, making it a valuable material for applications that require high temperature resistance, such as in light bulb filaments and aerospace components.


Is nickel a transition metal?

Yes, nickel is a transition metal. Transition metals typically have properties such as variable oxidation states, colorful compounds, complex ion formations, and catalytic activity. Nickel exhibits these properties, making it a classic example of a transition metal.


Does an outer ring of a metal have more than four electrons?

Yes, an outer ring (or outer shell) of a metal can have more than four electrons. In general, transition metals and some post-transition metals can have varying numbers of electrons in their outer shells, often exceeding four. However, the specific number of outer electrons depends on the particular metal and its position in the periodic table. For instance, elements in groups 1 and 2 have fewer than four outer electrons, while transition metals can have more due to their d-electrons.


What is the maximum number of electrons that a transition metal can hold in his second to last shell?

The second to last shell would be n=6, and the last transition element in n=6 would be mercury, (Hg), and it has 80 electrons, so that seems like it would be the correct answer. If you meant "in their second to last orbit", then the answer would be different.

How many valence electrons are in iridium?

2 valence electrons are in iridium because iridium is a transition metal. Most transitions metal would have 2 valence electrons because the group before the transition metals are the alkaline-earth metals which contains 2 valence electrons in that group making the transition metals have 2 valence electrons.

How many electrons does the transition metals lose?

Transition metals typically lose 1, 2, or 3 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This helps them attain a full or half-full d subshell, which is more stable than an incomplete d subshell. The number of electrons lost by a transition metal depends on its position in the transition metal series and the specific chemical reaction.
