Pt(II) can occur in the complex ion [PtCl4]2¯. a. Pt(II) can be oxidized to Pt(IV). Draw the the d-electron configuration for the chloride complex ion of Pt(IV). Explain the differences between this configuration and that of Pt(II). Is the Pt(IV) chloride complex ion paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
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.
