POST TRANSITION METALS

Post Transition Metals

By: Cade Murray and Lauren Eusanio

Physical and Chemical Properties

Elements

Oxidation Numbers

13,31,49-50,81-83,113-116

Post Transition Metals

Most of the post transition metals have multiple possible oxidation states. Since elements 113-116 are man-made, they do not have a known oxidation state.

Post-transition metals are the metallic elements in the periodic table located between the transition metals and the metalloids

Physical Properties

Chemical Properties

  • Brittle/soft
  • Malleable
  • High density
  • Low boiling points
  • Covalent bonding tendencies
  • Can form half-metallic compounds
  • More electronegative than transition metals

Valence Shell Electrons

Aluminum, Gallium, Indium, Thallium and Ununtrium all have 1 valence electron

Tin, Lead and Flerovium have 2 valence electrons

Bismuth and Ununpentium have 3 valence electrons

Livermorium has 4 valence electrons

Interesting Facts and Uses

  • They are also called poor metals
  • They are softer than transition metals and also have lower boiling points than them
  • Bismuth is used in Pepto- Bismol
  • Tin is used for plating steel and soldering
