Which transition metal element forms only a plus 1 cation?
Silver
Which is the transition metal with the smallest atomic mass in group 8?
Scandium is the smallest d-block element which in the past also made it the smallest transition metal. However, using the accepted modern definition of a transition metal: 'a transition metal is one which forms one or more stable ions which have incompletely filled d orbitals' scandium would not count as a transition metal, as it always forms 3+ ions with no d-electrons. Using this definition, the smallest transition metal would therefore be titanium.
What element in the 3rd period forms minus 1 ion?
Chlorine, the halogen in period 3.
Why zinc is placed in transition metals?
A transition element is a d-block element which forms one or more stable ions with incompletely filled d-orbitals. Zn only forms one stable ion, which is Zn2+. If we look at the electronic configuration of Zn and the Zn2+ ion: Note that [Ar] is 1s2 2s22p6 3s23p6 Zn : [Ar] 4s2 3d10 Zn2+ : [Ar] 3d10 The Zn2+ ion has a completely filled d-orbital, so therefore Zn cannot be defined as a transition element, as its only stable ion does not have an incompletely filled d-orbital. Zn, as a result of not having a stable ion which has an incompletely filled d-orbital, does not have coloured compounds : they tend to be white, and does not form complexes with ligands or display any of the other characteristics that we associate with transition elements.
When an atom forms an ion describe the outer shell of the ion?
Depending on the element the furthest shell out, when the outer shell has been filled by an other element donating one electron it turns into an ion.
What is a period 4 transition element that forms 3 diamagnetic ion?
Scandium, I believe it has something to do with that fact that it has the ability to have a double bond in ionic bonds. These diamagnetic metals between transition metals from the period 4 are copper and zinc.
Period 3 element that forms a 3- ion?
The third period element that forms a 3- ion is sulfur.

What element in the 3rd period always forms a 3 plus cation?
Aluminum
What period four element forms ions with the oxidation number -2?
Selenium forms selnides which contain the ion Se2-.
What element in the periodic table forms a strong base with water?
Lithium is a main element in the period tabel taht forms a strong base when mixed with water. The reaction results in LiOH.

What is the element that forms a bride between left and right sides of the periodic table?
The transition elements form a bridge between left and right sides of the periodic table.
Gold is what type of element?
Gold is a transition metal on the periodic table.The processes under which gold forms and gets transported definitely falls within the confines of geology and the fact that gold is a mineral makes geology the primary field to study it.
