Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The reason for colorless nature of the complex ion
Concept Introduction:
Co-ordination compounds are primarily formed by
Many of the complex compounds are due to the presence of unpaired electrons in d-orbital of metal ion and exchange of energy between them.

Predict the approximate wavelength and predominant color of light absorbed by the complex.arrow_forwardWhich of the following species is most paramagnetic? (a) Cr (b) Cr3+ (c) Mn (d) Mn2+arrow_forwardFour different octahedral chromium coordination compounds exist that all have the same oxidation state for chromium and have H2O and Cl as the ligands and counterions. When 1 mole of each of the four compounds is dissolved in water, how many moles of silver chloride will precipitate upon addition of excess AgNO3?arrow_forward
- Give the electron distribution in low-spin and/or high-spin complexes of (a) Ru4+ (b) Pt2+arrow_forwardSpecify whether the following complexes have isomers.. (a) tetrahedral [Ni(CO)2(Cl)2]. (b) trigonal bipyramidal [Mn(CO)4NO]. (c) [Pt(en)2Cl2]Cl2arrow_forwardFor each complex, predict its structure, whether it is high spin or low spin, and the number of unpaired electrons present. [Cu (NH3)4]2+ [Ni (CN)4]2−arrow_forward
- When water ligands in [Ti(H2O)6]3+ are replaced by CN- ligands to give [Ti(CN)6]3-, the maximum absorption shifts from 500 nm to 450 nm. Is this shift in the expected direction? Explain.arrow_forwardProvide the name and identify the oxidation state, coordination number, and the molecular geometry of [Fe(H20)6]3+.arrow_forwardDraw the octahedral crystal field d orbital splitting diagrams for [Fe(OH2)6] 2+ and [Fe(CN)6] 3. Indicate if the diagrams are high spin and low spin. give the names of the d-orbitals (dxz, dxy, dzy, dz2, dx2 - y2) label the appropriate orbital sets eg* and t2g and show how the electrons populate the diagram. (Hint: Pairing energy for 3d orbitals Fe 2+ = 29875 cm-1, Fe 3+ = 19150 cm-1; delta OH for Fe(OH2)6]2+ = 14300 cm-1 and delta OH for [Fe(CN)6]3 - is 35000 cm-1arrow_forward
