Ionic compounds which contain ions of the transition metals. The transition metals are the metals with valence electrons in the d-shells.

They are two types- simple ionic and complexes.
Simple ionics are just that, the metal is an anion and the cation is something like a halide, sulfate, nitrate, etc.
The complexes occur when the transition metal ion can load up its d or f orbitals with ligands, or cationic ions which provide the electrons to form a bond, and then the entire bonded metal ion+ ligands behaves as a ion. For example, iron+3 can react with CN- to form the Fe(CN)6 -3 ion, which can form an ion pair with an anion, even Fe+3. Many of the transition element salt hydrates exist as a complex, where H2O bonds with the metal ion in a coordinate d- or f- orbital.

once you look at your periodic table, permit's say you're searching for the roman numeral of Copper. because of the fact copper is in group 2A, it has 2 valence electrons, and because that's a metallic, this is value is +2. that must be your roman numeral once you write it out like that. it could then be Copper (II) Chloride group B components may be annoying to verify because of the fact they could have a +a million or +2 value.. so i don't be attentive to approximately that one. yet in basic terms look at how many valence electrons the element has. group IA components have a million, so the roman numeral could be I. group 2A has 2, so the r.n. could be II. So on. humorous, I in basic terms had my chemistry try the day earlier at present.. haha
