The values for lmax for complex A and B are 512 nm and 650 nm respectively. A has the structure [Co(NH3)4CO3]NO3 while B is [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl. Explain this data based on 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.
The values for lmax for complex A and B are 512 nm and 650 nm respectively. A has the structure [Co(NH3)4CO3]NO3 while B is [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl. Explain this data based on the Crystal Field Theory.
