10. What happens to the size of the elements as you move from left to right across the d-block?

NOTES
Inner Transition Elements Inner transition metals or more reactive than other transition metals Generally lose 3 electrons to form 3 positive ions Have sheen; they shine and have a silver appearance Inner transition metals above the atomic number 92 (actinides) are radioactive Rest between atomic numbers 58 to 71, and 90 to 103 Two types: Actinides and Lanthanides The name Lanthanides comes from Lanthanum, the first element in the family The name Actinides comes from the element Actinium In the elements of the lanthanide series and the actinide series the inner f orbital is filled as atomic number increases Inner transition metals fit between the S block and the D block A compound featuring lanthanum creates the red phosphor in TV screens praseodymium blocks out bright yellow colors which is used in welding goggles neodymium oxide, can turn glass into a beautiful shade of purple which can be used in stain glass Lanthanums appear in synthetic gems. actinides are radioactive plutonium is used as a powersource an actinide is used in a smoke detector Its isotope appears in space satellites, pacemakers, and navigational buoys. Transition Elements Classified as metallic Have advanced shell and orbital ideas Often shiny and hard transition metals are able to put more than eight electrons in the shell that is one in from the outermost shell. able to put up to 32 electrons in their second to last shell able to use the two outermost shells/orbitals to bond with other elements ^chemical trait that allows them to bond with elements in a variety of shapes. high melting points

several oxidation states/ valence states usually form colored compounds often paramagnetic good heat and electrical conductors malleable and ductile most found in compounds, not pure substances often used as catalysts Family is called transition elements/metals Name comes from its property to easily bond and combine with other elements. ^as well as property to act as a catalyst ^as well as readily form alloys also generally decrease in size as one moves from left to right across the d-block include iron, copper, and silver tran. elements are used in catalysts for industrial reactions building blocks for life shaped Bronze, Iron, and Steel Ages computers are made of transition elements everything around you is made of trans. elements in various compounds used to make airplane body and engines transition metals are in high demand used for architecture also used to build cars without iron, oxygen would not make it to the brain and life would not exist
