Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The term labile complex has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Crystal field splitting: The energy gap between the splitting of d-orbitals of the metal ion in presence of ligands is known as the crystal field splitting
Reaction of coordination compounds: Complex ion undergoes ligand exchange (or substitution) reactions in solution. The
(b)
Interpretation: The term inert complex has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Crystal field splitting: The energy gap between the splitting of d-orbitals of the metal ion in presence of ligands is known as the crystal field splitting
Reaction of coordination compounds: Complex ion undergoes ligand exchange (or substitution) reactions in solution. The rate of reaction is depends on the nature of metal ions and the ligands.
