Concept introduction:
The characters of the irreducible representations of the given point group can be multiplied by each other. The only condition is that the characters of the same symmetry operations are multiplied together. The multiplication of the characters is commutative.
The great orthogonality theorem for the reducible representation can be represented as,

- The solid anhydrous solid CoCl2 is blue in color. Because it readily absorbs water from the air, it is used as a humidity indicator to monitor if equipment (such as a cell phone) has been exposed to excessive levels of moisture. Predict what product is formed by this reaction, and how many unpaired electrons this complex will have.arrow_forwardTi(NH3)63+ has a d-orbital electron transition at 399 nm. Find o at this wavelength.arrow_forwardWould you expect the complex [Co(en)3]Cl3 to have any unpaired electrons? Any isomers?arrow_forward
- A) What is sigma and pi-bond? How many sigma and pi-bonds of the following molecules? CH3CH2COOH, CH3COCH3, CH3CH2CH3, C6H6 B) Use the electron-in box model electron configurations to write an equation for the formationof each transition metal ion, and predict whether it is paramagnetic or diamagnetic Mn2+ (Z =25) Cr3+ (Z =24) Fe3+(Z=26) Ti2+(Z=21)arrow_forward4 Illustrate how complex formation between Fe³* and SCN occurs by presenting electrons by arrows (1) in two colors (one color for Fe³+ and another color for SCN) in the orbital diagram below (only from 3d-orbital of Fe³+) 3d 4s 4parrow_forward2. Compound V ([Pd(en) 2] PtCl4) can have a coordination isomer. The coordination isomer of [Pd(en)2] PtC14 is [Pt(en)2]PdC14.arrow_forward
- Tetrahedral complexes such as [FeF4]2- possess a Td symmetry, as indicated in the picture below. Use group theory and symmetry operations to determine the reducible representation resulting from the combination of y vectors. Break the reducible into irreducible and decide which metal orbitals are likely used to form σ bonds.arrow_forward19. Which of the following species are isoelectric with each other? C, Cl–, Mn+2, B–, Ar, Zn, Fe+3, Ge+2.arrow_forwardThe magnetic moment of the [MnCl4]2− complex is 5.9 BM. Determine the geometry of the compound and the type of hybridization according to VBT.arrow_forward
