Lecture 23: The Transition Metals

Read section 20.1 from your textbook.

I have postponed the deadline for the group projects on these elements until March 26. We will return to the properties of the elements at that time.

Each group will prepare a web page or Powerpoint document on one of the d-block or f-block elements. You should include information on the important properties of the element and the structures, properties, and reactivities of its compounds. If you can, include information on your element that has appeared recently in the popular press. Upload your documents to your project website on WebCT.
