- Define the terms complex ion, ligand, and coordination number. Use an example to illustrate the use of these terms.arrow_forwardFor each d electron configuration, state the number of unpaired electrons expected in octahedral complexes. Give an example complex for each case. (Two answers are possible for some of these cases.) (a) d2 (b) d4 (c) d6 (d) d8arrow_forward
