hey whats up
ok so how do you figure out the charge of transition metals ?
do u have to memorize them all ? or is there a easier way ?

from all of the problems I had to do, I ended up memorizing them. If you're short on time though (if the test is tomorrow), take a Bic to the palm of your hand :P

Sometimes, depends on what they're bonded with, you could figure out the charge... usually however, you just have to memorize them.
