Both ions A2+ (Z=28) and B2+ (Z=46) can coordinate with the same types of ligands (X and Y) to form complex compounds of [AX2Y2] and [BX2Y2], respectively. A compound [AX2Y2] exists in only one geometric isomer, but two geometric isomers of the compound [BX2Y2] exist. Using the electron configuration of A2+ and B2+ to describe the formation of hybrid orbital type and formed compound structure. Compare their magnetic character and explain why the difference of complex formation.
Atomic Structure
The basic structure of an atom is defined as the component-level of atomic structure of an atom. Precisely speaking an atom consists of three major subatomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Many theories have been stated for explaining the structure of an atom.
Shape of the D Orbital
Shapes of orbitals are an approximate representation of boundaries in space for finding electrons occupied in that respective orbital. D orbitals are known to have a clover leaf shape or dumbbell inside where electrons can be found.
