Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The ions that are expected to form colored octahedral complex ions are to be determined.
Concept introduction: There is degeneracy in the d orbitals of a
To determine: If
(b)
Interpretation: The ions that are expected to form colored octahedral complex ions are to be determined.
Concept introduction: There is degeneracy in the d orbitals of a transition metal atom or ion. It means they have same energy levels. But when they interact with ligands, the d orbitals become non degenerate, i.e. they do not have same energy. Color of the complex ions depends upon how the 3d electrons occupy the split energy levels.
To determine: If
