Coordination Compounds form when one or more ligands donate lone pairs to a transition metal forming a dative bond. Consider different structural aspects of coordination compounds. A ligand must have a lone pair of electrons to donate to the transition metal. Usually, drawing a Lewis structure is the best way to determine whether a compound has a lone pair. Draw the Lewis structure of BF, 3* Can this molecule act as a ligand?

The compound [Fe(H2O)6]SO2 has a pale green color. The compound K4[Fe(CN)6] has a bright yellow color. Which of the following statements are NOT true? Select the correct answer below: A) The compound K4[Fe(CN)6] absorbs higher energy light. B) H2O produces a stronger ligand field than CN−. C) The compound K4[Fe(CN)6] is likely a low-spin complex because it contains strong-field ligands. D) The compound [Fe(H2O)6]SO2 is likely a high-spin complex because it contains weak-field ligands.
Which statements are true regarding ligands? Select all that apply. Ligands donate all electrons involved in bonds they form with metal cations. Ligands are electron pair acceptors in coordination complexes. Ligands act as Lewis bases in coordination complexes. Ligands form ionic bonds with transition metals. All ligands with two lone pairs are bidentate. A ligand that can donate more than one electron pair to a metal cation is called a chelate. One ligand can donate only one lone pair to a metal cation.
