Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of hydroxido ligand needs to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structures are also known as Lewis dot structures or electron dot structures. It gives a simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule. The covalent bonding of a molecule or ion is represented using simple representation as dots. The sharing of electrons is to get a stable octet structure. These electrons shared are represented as dots and it represents each atom to have eight electrons. The connectivity between the atoms within a molecule is represented easily. It is the valence electrons that are represented. Hence, even lone pairs can be indicated in the molecule.
(b)
Interpretation:

- What is the coordination number of the central metal atom in the following complexes? (a) [Fe(H2O)63+] (b) [Pt(NH3)Br3] (c) [V(en)Cl42] (d) [Au(CN)2+]arrow_forwarda. 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. What is the hybridization of the N atom in the Ncs- ligand when a Lewis acid-base reaction occurs between Cr3+ and NCs- that would give a 180 CrNC bond angle?
