Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the given ligand is monodentate, bidentate or tridentate has to be classified.
Concept Introduction:
Monodentate ligands:
These are the ligands which will bind with metal by their electron pair of single donor atom.
Bidentate ligands:
These are the ligands which will bind with metal by their electron pair of two donor atoms.
Tridentate ligands:
These are the ligands which will bind with metal by their electron pair of three donor atoms.

- 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_forwardTrimethylphosphine, P(CH3)3, can act as a ligand by donating the lone pair of electrons on the phosphorus atom. If trimethylphosphine is added to a solution of nickel(Il) chloride in acetone, a blue compound that has a molecular mass of approximately 270 g and contains 21.5% Ni, 26.0% Cl, and 52.5% P(CH3)3 can be isolated. This blue compound does not have any isomeric forms. What are the geometry and molecular formula of the blue compound?arrow_forwardWhich of the following ligands is expected to be monodentate, and which might be polydentate?
