Question
Chapter 21, Problem 23RQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure of the octahedral complex
Concept Information:
Coordination number is the number of coordinate bonds or the number of ligands bonded to the central metal ion.
Ligands are the molecules or ions that are bonded to a metal ion with a coordinate covalent bond.
The structure of the complex suggests that how the metal atom is surrounded by the ligands.

Solutions of [Co(NH3)6]2+, [Co(H2O)6]2+ (both octahedral), and [CoCl4]2- (tetrahedral) are colored. One is pink, one is blue, and one is yellow. Based on the spectrochemical series and remembering that the energy splitting in tetrahedral complexes is normally much less than that in octahedral ones, assign a color to each complex.
Consider the coordination complex with the formula [CoBr(NH3)5]SO4.
Identify the Lewis acid(s) and Lewis base(s) in the complex and explain how you made your choice(s).
What is the coordination number for the transition metal cation in this complex? Explain how you know.
In both [Fe(H2O)6]2+ and [Fe(CN)6]4- ions, the iron is present as Fe(II); however, one of these complexes is paramagnetic, whereas the other is diamagnetic. Please write the electronic configuration of d-orbital for these two complexes and explain this difference.
