Chapter 24, Problem 7E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of coordinate complex ${\left[\text{FeBr}{\left(\text{ox}\right)}_{\text{2}}\right]}^{2-}$ needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The coordinate complex is formed by the reaction of metal ions which are electron deficient with ligands which are electron rich. The structure of the coordinate complex is drawn in such a way that metal ion is always placed at the center. The metal ion is than surrounded by ligands which can be negatively charged or neutral. The shape or geometry of the complex can be determined by number of ligands surrounded by a metal ion.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of coordinate complex ${\left[{\text{CoBr}}_4{\left({\text{NH}}_3\right)}_{\text{2}}\right]}^{-}$ needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The coordinate complex is formed by the reaction of metal ions which are electron deficient with ligands which are electron rich. The structure of the coordinate complex is drawn in such a way that metal ion is always placed at the center. The metal ion is than surrounded by ligands which can be negatively charged or neutral. The shape or geometry of the complex can be determined by number of ligands surrounded by a metal ion.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of coordinate complex ${\left[\text{Cu(EDTA)}\right]}^{2-}$ needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The coordinate complex is formed by the reaction of metal ions which are electron deficient with ligands which are electron rich. The structure of the coordinate complex is drawn in such a way that metal ion is always placed at the center. The metal ion is than surrounded by ligands which can be negatively charged or neutral. The shape or geometry of the complex can be determined by number of ligands surrounded by a metal ion.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:
