Concept introduction:
The chemical name of the compound can be defined as the set of the
(b)
Interpretation:
The oxidation state and coordination number of element Pt is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The coordination number of the element in the coordination complex is calculated by the number of the ligands surrounded by the central metal ion.
The oxidation state of an element is defined as the number assigned to the element which represents the number of element lost or gained by the atom in the given compound.
(c)
Interpretation:
The Lewis acid and Lewis base are to be determined when ammonia and chloride react with
Concept introduction:
The sunstance which is an acceptor of the electron pair is called as the Lewis acid and the substance which is donor of the electron pair is called as the Lewis base.
(d)
Interpretation:
The electronic configuration of the element Pt in the cisplatin compound is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The electronic configuration is defined as the distribution of the electrons of atom or molecule in atomic orbitals.
