Hybridization in Elements of Third Period Involving d-Orbitals - The elements of the third period contain d-orbitals also in addition to s- and p-orbitals. The 3d-orbitals are comparable in energy to the 3s- and 3p-orbitals. Thes..

The elements of the third period contain d-orbitals also in addition to s- and p-orbitals. The 3d-orbitals are comparable in energy to the 3s- and 3p-orbitals. These d-orbitals are also involved in the hybridization and they explain the ge..

Introduction - The elements that lie in between S-block and P-block are the d-block elements. These elements are called transition elements as they show transitional properties between s and p-block elements. These elements conta..

Because of their characteristic electronic configuration, the properties of transition elements ('d' block elements) in any period do not differ much from each other (unlike nontransition elements from the same period). The electronic configuration of transi..

Shapes of d orbitals - For d-orbital (l = 2), there are five possible orientations corresponding to m = - 2, -1, 0, + 1, +2. This means that there are five orbitals in each d-subshell. For 3d subshell, these are designated as 3d ..

For 'd' orbitals 'l' = 2. Therefore the angular momentum of an electron does not show a spherical symmetry. For 'l' = 2, five values of 'm' the magnetic quantum number exists i.e., -2, -1, 0, +1, and +1. Accordingly there are five space orientations for 'd' orbit..

Grouping of Elements - In the long form of the periodic table, elements are grouped into four main blocks, purely on the basis of electronic configurations. Elements are grouped in blocks 's', 'p', 'd' and 'f' depending on the nature of orbital(s) i..

'd' block elements are called transition elements. These elements occupy groups 3 to 12 on the periodic table. There are four series of transitional elements, '3d', '4d', '5d' and '6d' depending on the energy..

According to wave mechanics, orbitals are described by wave functions known as orbital wave functions. These orbital wave functions can be represented as a product of two functions: (i) Radial wave function and (ii) Angular wave function. The radial wave function depen..
