Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
Oxidation state and identity of M has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Coordination compounds: The compounds having coordination covalent bonds which form when metal ions react with polar molecules or anions.
Oxidation number: The total number of electrons in an atom after losing or gaining electrons to make a bond with another atom. It indicates the charge of an ion.
b)
Interpretation:
The valence bond description of bonding using orbital diagrams in each complex has to be interpreted.
Concept Introduction:
Coordination compounds: The compounds having coordination covalent bonds which form when metal ions react with polar molecules or anions.
Ligands: The ions or molecules that forms coordination covalent bond with metal ions in a coordination compound. Ligands should have minimum one lone pair of electron, where it donates two electrons to the metal. Metal atom accepts the electron pair from a ligand forming a coordination bond.
The strong-field ligands results in pairing of electrons present in the complex and leads to diamagnetic species , while the low-field ligand do not have tendency to pair up the electrons therefore forms paramagnetic species.
Ligand field theory: It is used to explain the bonding between metal and ligand in a coordination complex. Ligand field theory is explained in terms of electrostatic interaction of between metal ion and ligands.
c)
Interpretation:
The complex

General Chemistry: Atoms First
- Four different octahedral chromium coordination compounds exist that all have the same oxidation state for chromium and have H2O and Cl as the ligands and counterions. When 1 mole of each of the four compounds is dissolved in water, how many moles of silver chloride will precipitate upon addition of excess AgNO3?arrow_forwardGive the number of unpaired electrons in octahedral complexes with strong-field ligands for (a) Rh3+ (b) Mn3+ (c) Ag+ (d) Pt4+ (e) Au3+arrow_forwardThe ferrate ion, FeO42, is such a powerful oxidizing agent that in acidic solution, aqueous ammonia is reduced to elemental nitrogen along with the formation of the iron(III) ion. a. What is the oxidation state of iron in FeO42, and what is the electron configuration of iron in this polyatornic ion? b. lf 25.0 mL of a 0.243 M FeO42 solution is allowed to react with 55.0 mL of 1.45 M aqueous ammonia, what volume of nitrogen gas can form at 25C and 1.50 atm?arrow_forward
