HELLO, MORTAL. (/HOMO SAPIEN)
welcome to y.a.r.d.s, where we serve you the finest top-notched chemistry meals of the century.

Due to the fact that we saw the increasing need for people (and you, earthlings alike) to know more about this ever-amazing periodic ~~chair~~ table and the elements in it, we have striven to provide enlightenment, to the best of our abilities. Some parts might get confusing, but if you follow close, you might just see the light at the end of the tunnel/the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow/the silver lining behind the dark cloud.......... oh we all know how chemistry's like. (Atoms? What atoms?!)

And now we know, that you can't resist the urge to start reading.
uh, we meant eating.

///we've made life easy, well at least we try to.
Navigations are as follows.
On the first page, which you happen to be at now, you find yourself marveling at our favourite -the giant of a hamburger, along with the menu! Hungry yet?

next you will find your delicious appetizer, whipped up specially by some of our finest chefs, to prepare you for the bulk of the food as you dig in.
We explain what is meant by a transition element, in terms of d-block elements forming one or more stable ions with incomplete d orbitals.

after which, we provide you with the full set meal, whereby we will
Contrast qualitatively, the melting point; density; atomic radius; first ionization energy and conductivity of the transition elements with those of calcium as a typical s-block element.

after the set meal comes the main course, to your utmost delight of course,
we describe the tendency of transition elements to have variable oxidation states and link this characteristic to their wide use as catalysts.

A property of y.a.r.d.s is that we strive to provide you with the best services, hence we leave the best for the last. For dessert, we
show that that transition metal ions are coloured due to d-d transition.

Eek, we almost forgot.
No dinner's complete without a surprise, so we have a surprise after-dinner snack waiting,
all about THE HALOGENS!
(don't worry it's the last you'll be swallowing for now --we know you'll be bloated by the time you're out of this site/restaurant.) [:
Cheers!
