Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 37GQ
These questions are not designated as to type or location in the chapter. They may combine several concepts.
The red color of rubies is the result of the substitution of some Cr3+ ions for Al3+ ions in solid Al2O3.
- (a) Using spdf notation with the noble gas notation, write the electron configuration for the Cr atom and for the Cr3+ ion?
- (b) Is Cr2+ paramagnetic? Is Cr3+?
- (c) The radius of the Cr3+ ion is 64 pm. How does this compare with the radius of the Al3+ ion?

B.
b. Now consider the two bicyclic molecules A. and B. Note that A. is a dianion
and B. is a neutral molecule. One of these molecules is a highly reactive
compound first characterized in frozen noble gas matrices, that self-reacts
rapidly at temperatures above liquid nitrogen temperature. The other
compound was isolated at room temperature in the early 1960s, and is a
stable ligand used in organometallic chemistry. Which molecule is the more
stable molecule, and why?
