Why Study Descriptive Chemistry of
              Transition Metals
   Transition metals are found in nature
     Rocks and minerals contain transition metals
     The color of many gemstones is due to the presence of
      transition metal ions
           Rubies are red due to Cr
           Sapphires are blue due to presence of Fe and Ti
     Many biomolecules contain transition metals that are
      involved in the functions of these biomolecules
         Vitamin B12 contains Co
         Hemoglobin, myoglobin, and cytochrome C contain Fe
Why Study Descriptive Chemistry of
              Transition Metals
   Transition metals and their compounds have many
    useful applications
     Fe is used to make steel and stainless steel
     Ti is used to make lightweight alloys
     Transition metal compounds are used as pigments
          TiO2 = white
          PbCrO4 = yellow
          Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 (prussian blue)= blue
     Transition metal compounds are used in many
      industrial processes
Why Study Descriptive Chemistry of
              Transition Metals
   To understand the uses and applications of
    transition metals and their compounds, we need to
    understand their chemistry.
   Our focus will be on the 4th period transition
    elements.
