(a) There are essentially three bonding concepts used to describe the bonding in coordination compounds. Using the Valence Bond approach, analyse clearly the bonding and magnetism properties of the following complexes: (i) Naz[NIF4] (i) Ko[Co(Br)e] (b) Give the chemical equations that are characterised by the stepwise stability constants at 25°C in an aqueous solution for the formation of copper complexes with ethylenediamine. (c) Based on equations in (b), predict the difference in terms of the formation constant for step 2 and step 3.
