Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The oxidation state of the metal and the formula of the complex formed has to be found for the given process.
Concept introduction:
Coordination complex: In coordination complex there is a central metal atom which is connected by number of molecules or ions called ligands. Ligands are the group which can donate one or more electron pairs to the central metal atom. There are different classifications of ligand based on the charge, number of electrons donated to the central metal atoms...etc. For example
When only one pair of electrons are donated to the metal, the ligand is called monodentate. When only two pairs of electrons are donated to the metal, the ligand is called bidentate. When only more than two pair of electrons are donated to the metal, the ligand is called polydendate.
Spectrochemical series is the arrangement of ligands in the increasing order of field strength. The ligands in the right side of the series will be of high strength and causes the pairing of electrons.

- During the refining of iron, carbon must be present in the blast furnace. Why is carbon necessary to convert iron oxide into iron?arrow_forwardAssign reasons for the following :(i) Transition metals and many of their compounds act as good catalysts.(ii) Transition metals generally form coloured compounds.arrow_forwardLook at the cobalt equilibrium and decide which is pink (I or II) and which is blue? Co(H2O)62+ + 2Cl– ⇌ CoCl2(H2O)2 + 4H2O I II explain the effect of changing the temperature based upon your observations. Is the cobalt equilibrium exothermic or endothermic, explain your observations with respect to the addition of saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and the addition of water. (HINT: what is the major component of aqueous sodium chloride?)arrow_forward
