- Sketch and explain the most likely crystal field diagram for the following complex ion: Note: The CN ligand produces a much stronger crystal field than NH3. Assume the NH3 ligands lie on the z axis.arrow_forwardThe standard reduction potential for the reaction [Co( H 2 O)6]3+(aq)+e[CO( H 2 O)6]2+(aq) is about 1.8 V. The reduction potential for the reaction [Co( NH 3 )6]3+(aq)+e[Co( NH 3 )6]2+(aq) is +0.1 V. Calculate the cell potentials to show whether the complex ions,. [Co( H 2 O)6]2+ and or [Co( NH 3 )6]2+, can be oxidized to the corresponding Cobalt (III) complex by oxygen.arrow_forwardIs it possible for a complex of a metal in the transition series to have six unpaired electrons? Explain.arrow_forward
- Trimethylphosphine, P(CH3)3, can act as a ligand by donating the lone pair of electrons on the phosphorus atom. If trimethylphosphine is added to a solution of nickel(Il) chloride in acetone, a blue compound that has a molecular mass of approximately 270 g and contains 21.5% Ni, 26.0% Cl, and 52.5% P(CH3)3 can be isolated. This blue compound does not have any isomeric forms. What are the geometry and molecular formula of the blue compound?arrow_forwardWhat is the coordination number of the central metal atom in the following complexes? (a) [Fe(H2O)63+] (b) [Pt(NH3)Br3] (c) [V(en)Cl42] (d) [Au(CN)2+]arrow_forwardFor a tetrahedral complex of a metal in the first transition series, which of the following statements concerning energies of the 3d orbitals is correct?
