The IUPAC definition of a transition element is that it is an element that has an incomplete d-subshell in either the neutral atom or its ion. Thus the group 12 elements are member of the d-block but are not transition elements. Chemically solft members of the d-block occurs as sulphide minerals and are partially oxidised to obtain the metal, the more electropositive 'hard' metals occurs as oxides and are extracted by reduction. Opposite to p-block elements, the higher oxidation states are favoured by the heavier elements of d-block Metals on the right of the d-block tend to exist in low oxidation states and form complexes with the ligands. Square-planar complexes are common for the platinum metals and gold in oxidation states that yield d^8 electronic configuration, which include RH(I),Ir(I),Pd(II),Pt(II) and Au(III). The most distinctive features/properties of transition metal complex is their wide range of colours.The crystal field theory attributes the colour of the coordination compounds to d-d transition of the electron.It is important to note that (a) in absence of ligand, crystal field spilling does not occur and hence the substances is colourless, (b) the type of ligand also influences the colour of the complexes.

Hydrogen accounts for approximately 75% of the mass of the universe. Hydrogen serves as the nuclear fuel of our Sun and other stars, and these are mainly composed of hydrogen. On the earth, though hydrogen is rarely found in the uncombined state. Since the earth's gravity is too weak to hold such light molecules, nearly all the H_2 originally present in the earth's atmosphere has been lost to space. In the earth's crust and oceans, hydrogen is found in water, petroleum, proteins, carbohydrates and other compounds and it is the ninth most abundant element on a mass basis. Hydrogen has three isotopes : hydrogen or protium () , deuterium or heavy hydrogen (D or ), tritium (T or ) . The physical properties of the three isotopes are different due to the difference in their masses, i.e. isotope effect. The chemical properties of the three isotopes are similar as they have the same electronic configuration. Reaction between hydrogen and oxygen is highly exothermic, and gas mixtures that contain as little as 4% by volume hydrogen in oxygen (or in air) are highly flammable and potentially explosive. 2H_(2(g))+O_(2(g)), DeltaH^(ɵ)=-485 kJmol^(-1) As hydrogen is environmentally clean it is an enormously attractive fuel. 'Hydrogen economy' is an emerging field in which it is thought that our energy needs can be met by gaseous, liquid and solid hydrogen.
