Concept introduction:
A complex ion is formed when a metal ion reacts with a Lewis base in solution. This reaction is defined in terms of
The Metal ion which is positively charged functions as a Lewis acid. Lewis base or the ligand has one or more lone pairs of electrons. For example, Cu2+, which is a highly charged and small metal ion having a significant tendency to function as Lewis acids, consequently exhibiting the greatest affinity to form complex ions.
The development of a complexion is a stepwise procedure, and every step has its equilibrium constant. When two of the equations are added together, the equilibrium constants multiply.

- a. In the absorption spectrum of the complex ion Cr(NCS)63, there is a band corresponding to the absorption of a photon of light with an energy of 1.75 104 cm-1. Given 1 cm1 = 1.986 1023 J, what is the wavelength of this photon? b. The CrNC bond angle in Cr(NCS)63 is predicted to be 180.
