Question
Chapter 23, Problem 23.20QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The coordination structures which exhibit geometric isomerism to be interpreted.
Concept Introduction:
Geometry of coordination compounds: The study of geometry of the coordination compound helps in understanding the physical and chemical property of the compound.
Stereoisomer: The same molecular formula but different with the arrangements of atoms around the metal ion.
- Stereoisomer: Compounds in which Ligands are arranged differently.
- Geometric isomers: stereoisomers that cannot be interconverted without breaking the
chemical bonds. - Optical isomers: Optical isomers are non-superimposable mirror images.
- Plane-polarized light: Light that oscillates in a single plane.
To Identify: The coordination structures which exhibit geometric isomerism to be interpreted.
