Consider the solvatochromic complex, [Mo(bipy)(CO)4]. The complex has a MLCT peak in the UV-vis spectrum. This peak is at 533 nm in acetonitrile solvent and at 584 nm in benzene solvent. In a 50:50 acetonitrile:benzene mixture, the peak is at 559 nm. Is the mixture of acetonitrile and benzene immediately surrounding the [Mo(bipy)(CO)4] molecules less than, equal to, or greater than a 50:50 mixture (acetonitrile:benzene)? Justify your answer. (HINT: Do you need to convert the wavelengths to a more appropriate unit?)
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.
