Scandium is not considered as transition metals why |
|
Answer» nsition metals are compounds that form at least 1 stable ION where the compound has an incomplete d subshell. Therefore, SCANDIUM is not a transition metal, because it forms only Sc3+ ions with n d-ELECTRONS, and ZN is not a transition metal because it forms only Zn2+ ions with all the 3d electrons PRESENT. Transition metals form a transition between the properties of group 1 and 2 to the properties of group 3 and 4. |
