The metal ion, M2+, formed a paramagnetic tetrahedral complex [MJ4]2+, having three unpaired electrons. Whereas, with the ligand monodentate anionic ligand A- , it forms the paramagnetic octahedral complex [MA6]4- , having the same number of unpaired electrons as that of for [MJ4]2+. Another octahedral, low-spin complex [MG3]2+, which has one unpaired electron. a) Show the d-orbital splitting diagrams for the complexes, [MJ4]2+ and [MA6]4- . Give the electron configuration for the complexes in the split state.
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.
