Chapter 21, Problem 21.124SP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The oxidation state of the iron and the systematic name of the complex ${\text{Na}}_{\text{2}}{{\text{[Fe(CN)}}_{\text{5}}\text{NO]}}^{-2}$ is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The oxidation state of any element is described as the number assigned to an element. This represents the number of elements lost or gained by atom in the given compound.

The systematic name can be described as the name that is given systematically to unique group, an object or a chemical substance. The systematic name is known as the part of the nomenclature.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The crystal field energy diagram and the number of unpaired electrons for the complex ${[{\text{Fe(CN)}}_{\text{5}}\text{NO}]}^{2-}$ are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The energy level diagram is used for the representation of energy shell, sub-shell and orbital that is occupied by the electrons of the atoms.
