VIDEO: CH. 19 Other Transition Metals

so here are a couple more transition medals I want to talk about but remember any transition metal could be used as an example folks to organize ourselves we focus on period for transition metals we do not be alarmed if you see other transition metal examples like silver our soft ductile malleable silvery metal right um that's going to get its name from the Anglo-Saxon word sopur okay and that's kind of how was able to kind of go from basically Anglo Saxon and a little bit of Latin from the word Argent Argent right which is how it kind of got its AG portion so what you'll see with a lot of these different elements and sorry for me butchering all the names is that you kind of are mixing different ways of the actual element coming about or the words that are actually used um based on the element symbol and the name itself too also sometimes the common name can make things a little bit more confusing now what do we use silver for uh silverware table wear Dental fillings mirrors jewelry all kind of things next we can also talk about good old gold you see gold and jewelry we also see in Dental feeling going we also see in gold teeth uh grills luxury watches artwork architecture coins it's very soft and malleable it's yellow metal it's going to come from the Anglo Saxon language again okay which is going to come from it's actual chemical symbol because it comes from the angle sax arum which is like The Shining Dawn and so that's just little thing that you don't have to remember it's just things that helps you kind of associate yourself with some of these transition modes we also can talk about zonian for for example tonium is going to be a tough silvery corrosion resistant metal so corrosion resistant that means going to be good for um any kind of Alloys it's actually used for Alloys or mixtures of metals for aircraft components you also can see it in dental implant and can be found as some Gin Stone we also then have plat you can also see platinum and again other transition medals as well but Platinum is going to be a very heavy soft malibo and ductile silvery white metal okay folks it's going to come from the Spanish word platinum which means little silver because it was first known as an unworkable silver like metal which was found along some gold deposits until people start realizing it's value okay folks and we'll see a lot of um we'll see platinum in a lot of jewelry medical implants fuel cells catalytic converters like we were talking about before using it as a catalyst and the catalytic converter of a car so that it NE basically can never ever be getting rid of because it never get breaks down at all okay folks so for example we're going to use that platinum in that catalytic converter just to make sure that the car that you're driving doesn't continue to give out harmful emission that's kind of what it controls so having a substance like platinum in there that's not going to break down right because it's not used up in the chemical reaction it's almost perfect so we're literally converting that gas to less toxic compound then we have those inner transition metals folks so what about those we cannot forget about them the lanthanides and aides they're going to be our F block right on the periodic table so here we're going to see the F block transition animals Animal sorry transition elements that we're talking about here so the lanthanides are going to be in Period six they're also called The Rare Earth elements while the actinides are going to be in Period seven okay and they're all going to be radioactive and have very similar physical and chemical properties which is really cool because a lot of times we're talking about how sometimes they don't but we do have groupings like with the actinides where they do have similar physical and chemical properties now when it comes to both lanthanides and aides they do like to have form stable compounds with the plus three oxidation state and I do want to give a couple of examples for each so the lanides are really good as Catalyst and various industrial processes like uh petroleum refining for example medical imaging like MRI scans nuclear reactors that are going to help us um basically not really the nuclear reactor itself but the Structural Materials of it and then aides for example are really good for material scientists so because they have such unique properties they're all radioactive and stuff like that they actually have huge applications for advanced material and so sometimes are high high temperature materials and sometimes people are studying those as well nuclear weapons of course because they're radioactive and space exploration so some of the probes um on that are actually in different satellites are just like on different planets for example they're actually using plutonium and things like that portions of the actinides to actually be able to explore space so here's going to be a lot of uses for some of these Lon and acon of course we don't go into all the detail but they're pretty cool to know when it comes to transition metal right we talked in the beginning a little bit about how to extract these transition metals so we start off with some kind of ore and this ore has pieces of the transition metals or different minerals that we want to extract out and then once it's extracted out we kind of create a pure form of it okay so there's going to be various information on how to extract these transition metals from their ores but you're not responsible to know the details so an ore is simply going to be again a naturally occurring material that has these variable uh materials within them these minerals or these transition elements for example and of course we want to extract them because they can be highly profitable and what do we mean by that look at all the different Industries we can use them for so because of that we just know that once you have an extracted a pure amount you can get a good amount of money and then of course we can go further and say um when we're talking about purification or getting different organic compounds as well we know that we can get things like fuel or gasoline from these type of profits to we just sticking to the preparation of transition metals the goal is that you're first going to gather all of your materials this is just an example of getting copper for example and then you're going to smelt it smelting means that you're going to heat it up and you're going to extract the metal from The Ore itself now sometimes there's a lot of byproduct with this and those byproducts can actually can be used too you can use a byproduct here of the copper for like steel making for example but no matter what the metal that you're obtain from smelting it's very very impure and because of that you want to make sure that you're creating the the most pure product just like in lab when we do recrystallization we heat it up again so sometimes you have a process of refining where you have to heat up the metal again to release impurities a lot of times you also see like electrolysis where they use electric currents to remove impurities whatever it takes to get to that pure product and sometimes those processes are a lot of money as well so the entire goal of having that ore starting off with that ore smelting it down and then refining it allow to have so many parts for bats different steel mills all different things that we use with industry and of course we go further to different um processes like uh nanotechnology and things like that look okay folks so again do not have to know the details of preparation transition meals just know that exists and as you go along um in chemistry then of course you will be seeing this in higher up well different portions that you go up that up higher in okay and again more f stuff to learn about these transition mod now finally how do we put all this together folks we talked about General properties of transition mode okay we went through that we made lift up we got to be able to explore some of the actual property and examples of the different transition meals we see as our models now we're going to go deeper into a little bit details about those atomic physical and chemical properties okay folks so how does electron configuration differ with transition is it the same as non-metals and metals or is it different we'll see it's different okay what about the trends that exist so we're talking atomic size ionization energy electr negativity what kind of Trends exist specifically for transition me again folks the goal is that we're organizing ourselves and telling ourselves we're learning completely different block on the periodic table no more main group elements for metals and non-metals now we're dealing with transition elements and we have to kind of learn about all the different properties that exist specifically for them okay and then of course we can even go further and talk about those chemical properties like oxidation and reducing reducing Str okay or color how these model transition metals become reative we get to explore all this and kind of go a little bit further as best if we can in the boundaries of our Cor in this Le so let's go ahead and get into it
