Chapter 21, Problem 2RQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The statement, ‘to be a ligand, a substance should be Lewis base’ is to be explained.

Concept Information:

Complex ions are the ions formed by a metal atom at the center and the other non-metals molecules or ions surround it.

A Lewis acid-base reaction is the reaction between a Lewis acid and a Lewis base.

Ligands are the molecules or ions that are bonded to a metal ion, with a coordinate covalent bond.

2. When a metal complex ion is formed in solution, what are the metal ion and ligands acting as? * O a) The ligand is a Lewis base, and the metal ion is its conjugate acid. O b) The metal ion is a Lewis acid, and the ligand is its conjugate base. c) The metal ion acts as a Lewis base, and the ligand acts as a Lewis acid d) The ligand is a Lewis base, and the metal ion is its conjugate acid.
Why do metal ions turn colors when dissolved in different solutions? Use the ideas found in coordination chemistry, Lewis acid/base theory and/or crystal field theory to explain your answer.
