n inorganic chemistry we learned about hard/soft acid/base. What is the best way to understand the difference between these terms? And using hard/soft acid/base arguments determine: 1.) rank of the order of reactivity of Pt2+ with NH3 and F- and Ph3P and why? 2.) does CO react more strongly with Fe2+ or Fe3+ and why?
