CBSE Class 12 D and F Block Cheat Sheet
Key Definitions
- D Block Elements: Transition metals with partially filled d-orbitals.
- F Block Elements: Lanthanides and actinides, characterized by f-orbital filling.
Important Concepts
D Block Elements
- Properties: Good conductors of heat/electricity, malleable, ductile.
- Complex Formation: Form colored complexes due to d-d transitions.
F Block Elements
- Lanthanides: Elements 57-71, known for their high magnetic susceptibility.
- Actinides: Elements 89-103, mostly radioactive and used in nuclear applications.
Key Formulas
n = 2n²- n: Principal quantum number (energy level)
ΔE = hν- ΔE: Energy difference between levels
- h: Planck's constant (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js)
- ν: Frequency of light
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Common Mistake: Confusing the oxidation states of transition metals; remember they can have multiple oxidation states.
Memory Tricks
Tip: "D-FLAME" — D-block, F-block, Lanthanides, Actinides, Magnetic properties, Energy levels.
