Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The formula and charge of an iron complex with six water ligands needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Chemical proportions of atoms in a particular chemical compound or molecule are represented by using a chemical formula that makes use of chemical symbols, numbers, parentheses, brackets, commas, plus and minus signs.
(b)
Interpretation:
The formula and charge of Nickel complex with two ethylene diamine and two bromide ligands needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The chemical formula indicates the number of atoms of each element that constitutes a compound. It is usually represented by symbols of atoms of any element present in the compound. The number of atoms is indicated through subscripts. In symbols, there is the use of plus, minus, brackets, parentheses as well.
(c)
Interpretation:
The formula and charge of Platinum complex with two chloride and two ammonia ligands needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Molecular formula or chemical formula is a way of representing the compound of any elements that are bonded using chemical symbols. The number of atoms is represented as subscripts.
The chemical elements are represented as symbols and could be indicated in brackets with plus or minus symbols.
The compound is indicated as a formula using an abbreviation.
