When triphenylphosphine is added to nickel(II) bromide dissolved in carbon disulfide at -78°C, a red colored complex is formed. The color of this complex turns green at room temperature. Both complexes have the same coordination number. The red complex is diamagnetic, the green complex is paramagnetic, and its measured magnetic moment is 3.2 B.M.
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.
