Concept explainers
Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the fact that
Concept introduction: If a molecule contains unpaired electrons, then, it is said to be paramagnetic, whereas if a molecule does not contain any unpaired electron, then, it is said to be diamagnetic.
Weak field ligand that has small crystal field splitting energy gives high spin due to the presence of maximum unpaired electrons in lower energy
Strong field ligand that has large crystal field splitting energy gives low spin due to the presence of maximum paired electrons in lower energy
To determine: An explanation corresponding to the fact that

- Give the number of unpaired electrons in octahedral complexes with strong-field ligands for (a) Rh3+ (b) Mn3+ (c) Ag+ (d) Pt4+ (e) Au3+arrow_forwardPlatinum(II) forms many complexes, among them those with the following ligands. Give the formula and charge of each complex. (a) two ammonia molecules and one oxalate ion (C2O42-) (b) two ammonia molecules, one thiocyanate ion (SCN-), and one bromide ion (c) one ethylenediamine molecule and two nitrite ionsarrow_forwardFour different octahedral chromium coordination compounds exist that all have the same oxidation state for chromium and have H2O and Cl as the ligands and counterions. When 1 mole of each of the four compounds is dissolved in water, how many moles of silver chloride will precipitate upon addition of excess AgNO3?arrow_forward
- Give the electron distribution in low-spin and/or high-spin complexes of (a) Ru4+ (b) Pt2+arrow_forwardNickel and palladium both form complexes of the general formula M(PR3)2Cl2. (The ligand PR3 is a phosphine such as P(C6H5)3, triphenylphosphine. It is a Lewis base.) The nickel(II) compound is paramagnetic whereas the palladium(II) compound is diamagnetic. (a) Explain the magnetic properties of these compounds. (b) How many isomers of each compound are expected?arrow_forward
