Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The crystal field energy level diagram for a square planar complex has to be drawn and the reason for having square planar geometry especially common for
Concept Introduction:
Coordination compounds: The compounds having coordination covalent bonds which form when metal ions react with polar molecules or anions.
Square planar Complexes: The geometry of square planar complex looks like octahedral complex except that the two trans ligands along the z axis is missing for square planar complexes.
Crystal Field Theory: It is the next advancement of
