Two famous oxidising agents and the inner transition elements
Part 2 — orange dichromate and purple permanganate in the laboratory, and the f-block elements at the foot of the periodic table.
In this lesson you will
- Describe the preparation and structure of potassium dichromate and potassium permanganate
- Write ionic equations for their oxidising reactions and use them in titration calculations
- Explain the lanthanoid contraction and its consequences, and compare lanthanoids with actinoids
- State important applications of d- and f-block elements
