Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Actinide elements from the given list have to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The actinide series includes the 15 metallic chemical elements with atomic numbers from 89 to 103 and it starts from actinium through lawrencium.

Actinides are given below,

Actinium (Ac), Thorium (Th), Protactinium (Pa), Uranium (U), Neptunium (Np), Plutonium (Pu), Americium (Am), Curium (Cm), Berkelium (Bk), Californium (Cf), Einsteinium (Es), Fermium (Fm), Mendelevium (Md), Nobelium (No), Lawrencium (Lr).

Answer to Problem 1PS

Actinide elements are Curium (Cm) and Californium (Cf) 

Explanation of Solution

Actinide elements are given below,

Curium (Cm) and Californium (Cf).

Rest of the elements, cobalt (Co), cadmium (Cd) is transition elements (d-block elements) and cerium (Ce) is lanthanum elements.

Conclusion

Actinide elements from the given list were identified.

Assign a reason for each of the following observations:(i) The transition metals (with the exception of Zn, Cd and Hg) are hard and have high melting and boiling points.(ii) The ionization enthalpies (first and second) in the first series of the transition elements are found to vary irregularly.
One of the following solids is yellow, and the other is green: Fe(NO3)2 · 6 H2O; K4[Fe(CN)6] 3 H2O. a) Illustrate the d orbitals of the metal center of the given solids. b) Identify which of them is yellow or green using the diagram of their orbitals and spectrochemical series.
Give the oxidation state of the metal for each of the following oxides of the first transition series. (Hint: Oxides of formula M3O4 are examples of mixed valence compounds in which the metal ion is present in more than oneoxidation state. It is possible to write these compound formulas in the equivalent format MO∙M2O3, to permit estimation of the metal’s two oxidation states.)(a) Sc2O3(b) TiO2(c) V2O5(d) CrO3(e) MnO2(f) Fe3O4(g) Co3O4(h) NiO(i) Cu2O
