AQA chemistry a couple of synoptic queries

Hey I'm revising chem and have a couple of quick queries. If anyone can help that would be brill.

module 5

1. Is scandium a transition metal or not?

-It's atom has a partially filled 3d sub level but it's ion Sc 3+ doesn't. In the text book it says "a transition metal must have a partially filled 3d sub level in atom or ion." But in revision guide it says the ion must be have the partially filled sub level.

module 2

2. I thought delta H= Q/moles but in text book it does delta H= (Q * Mr)/mass. Does anyone know which one is right?

Thanks!!
