a.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Transition metal “M” is to be identified for the compound K3[M(CN)6] .

Concept introduction: Transition metals produce coordination compounds by forming coordinate covalent bonds with a main group element. They interact in a manner similar to Lewis’s acid-base interaction where a Lewis base donates the electrons that are accepted by a Lewis acid. The acceptor becomes the central metal ion and is often identified as a transitional metal. On the other hand, the Lewis base or donor (also known as ligands) can be a variety of atoms, molecules, and ions that must have a lone pair of electrons.

b.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Transition metal “M” is to be identified for the compound [M(H2O)6]3+ .

Concept introduction: Transition metals produce coordination compounds by forming coordinate covalent bonds with a main group element. They interact in a manner similar to Lewis’s acid-base interaction where a Lewis base donates the electrons that are accepted by a Lewis acid. The acceptor becomes the central metal ion and is often identified as a transitional metal. On the other hand, the Lewis base or donor (also known as ligands) can be a variety of atoms, molecules, and ions that must have a lone pair of electrons.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Transition metal “M” is to be identified for a tetrahedral compound [MCl4] .

Concept introduction: Transition metals produce coordination compounds by forming coordinate covalent bonds with a main group element. They interact in a manner similar to Lewis’s acid-base interaction where a Lewis base donates the electrons that are accepted by a Lewis acid. The acceptor becomes the central metal ion and is often identified as a transitional metal.

Concept introduction: Transition metals produce coordination compounds by forming coordinate covalent bonds with a main group element.

Phenol is the starting material for the synthesis of 2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorophenol, known al-ternatively as pentachlorophenol, or more simply as penta. At one time, penta was widely used as a wood preservative for decks, siding, and outdoor wood furniture. Draw the structural formula for pentachlorophenol and describe its synthesis from phenol.
