Chromium is an interesting transition metal that is important in metallurgy and is also found in many oxidation states in many different types of coordination compounds. Consider the coordination compound Rb2[Cr(O)Cls] (one oxide ligand and five chloride ligands). a. Determine the oxidation state and d-configuration for the chromium atom. HINT: Use the periodic table to deduce the charge of an oxide ligand. b. State the coordination number for this coordination compound and the expected geometry. Are there any isomers expected for this compound? If there are, draw structures of the isomers. C.
