ALKENES and POTASSIUM MANGANATE(VII)

This page looks at the reaction of the carbon-carbon double bond in alkenes such as ethene with potassium manganate(VII) solution (potassium permanganate solution). Oxidation of alkenes with cold dilute potassium manganate(VII) solution Experimental details Alkenes react with potassium manganate(VII) solution in the cold. The colour change depends on whether the potassium manganate(VII) is used under acidic or alkaline conditions. If the potassium manganate(VII) solution is acidified with dilute sulphuric acid, the purple solution becomes colourless. If the potassium manganate(VII) solution is made slightly alkaline (often by adding sodium carbonate solution), the purple solution first becomes dark green and then produces a dark brown precipitate. Chemistry of the reaction We'll look at the reaction with ethene. Other alkenes react in just the same way. Manganate(VII) ions are a strong oxidising agent, and in the first i...

THE GENERAL FEATURES OF TRANSITION METAL CHEMISTRY

This page explains what a transition metal is in terms of its electronic structure, and then goes on to look at the general features of transition metal chemistry. These include variable oxidation state (oxidation number), complex ion formation, coloured ions, and catalytic activity. You will find some of this covered quite briefly on this page with links to other parts of the site where the topics are covered in more detail. The electronic structures of transition metals What is a transition metal? The terms transition metal (or element) and d block element are sometimes used as if they mean the same thing. They don't - there's a subtle difference between the two terms. We'll explore d block elements first: d block elements You will remember that when you are building the Periodic Table and working out where to put the electrons using the Aufbau Principle, something odd happens after argon. At argon, the 3s and 3p leve...
