Let us consider the following coordination complexes: [Fe(CN6)]3- Given that the chloride ion and the water molecule are weak field ligands whereas ammonia, CN- and CO are high field ligands, determine the electron structure of the cobalt complex ion using an energy diagram of the d orbitals established according to the crystal field theory.
Atomic Structure
The basic structure of an atom is defined as the component-level of atomic structure of an atom. Precisely speaking an atom consists of three major subatomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Many theories have been stated for explaining the structure of an atom.
Shape of the D Orbital
Shapes of orbitals are an approximate representation of boundaries in space for finding electrons occupied in that respective orbital. D orbitals are known to have a clover leaf shape or dumbbell inside where electrons can be found.
