Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure of the iron oxalate complex
Concept introduction:
Coordination compounds are a special class of compounds in which the metal atoms or ions are bounded to a number of anions or neutral molecules.
A coordination compound can be simply represented as follows,
Coordination number of a complex is defined as the number of ligand donor atoms to which the metal is directly bonded.
The geometry of a
Coordination number of complexes, shape with example are listed below,
Chelate is coordination compound consisting of a central metal atom attached to large molecule called chelating ligand; it has a cycle or ring structure.

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_forwardPlatinum(II) forms many complexes, among them those with the following ligands. Give the formula and charge of each complex. (a) two ammonia molecules and one oxalate ion (C2O42-) (b) two ammonia molecules, one thiocyanate ion (SCN-), and one bromide ion (c) one ethylenediamine molecule and two nitrite ionsarrow_forwardIndicate whether each of the following is true or false. If the statement is false, correct it. (a) The coordination number of iron(III) [Fe(NH3)4(en)3+]in 5. (b) [Ni(CN)64-]is expected to absorb at a longer wave. length than [Ni(NH3)62+] (c) Complexes of Cr3+ are brightly colored, and those of Zn2+ are colorless. (d) Ions with seven or more d electrons cannot form both high- and low-spin octahedral complexes.arrow_forward
