Ii.write an ion/electron equation to illustrate the oxidising property of the
dichromate (VI) ion. [2m]
2. How does the electronic configuration of a transition metal differs from the elements
in the main groups of the Periodic Table? You may use iron and calcium as examples.
[5m]
3. Give four characteric properties of transition elements or their compounds. Illustrate
