Sc – Early transition metal
Almost always in highest valence state (3)
Not very often 18 electron: atom only has 3 valence electrons, runs out of space to coordinate ligands!!
Group 6 – “Mid” transition metals
Usually 18 electron octahedral (group 6-8 most likely to obey 18e rule)
Most common valence state increases down the triad

Group 10 – “late” transition metals
Usually 16 electron sq planar d8 (dx2-y2 strongly antibonding)
Accessible valence states increase down the triad
