Chemistry: An Atoms First Approach
- What two first-row transition metals have unexpected electron configurations? A statement in the text says that first-row transition metal ions do not have 4s electrons. Why not? Why do transition metal ions often have several oxidation states, whereas representative metals generally have only one?arrow_forwardThe compound cisplatin, Pt(NH3)2Cl2, has been studied extensively as an antitumor agent. The reaction for the synthesis of cisplatin is: K2PtCl4(aq)+2NH3(aq)Pt(NH3)2Cl2(s)+2KCl(aq) Write the electron configuration for platinum ion in cisplatin. Most d8 transition metal ions exhibit square planar geometry. With this and the name in mind, draw the structure of cisplatin.arrow_forwardTi(NH3)63+ has a d-orbital electron transition at 399 nm. Find o at this wavelength.arrow_forward
