(b) How does it affectatomic size down a group of transition elements? (c) How doesit influence the densities of the Period 6 transition elements?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_forward
- Divide the electron configurations d1 through d10 among the groupmembers such that every configuration is assigned to at least twogroup members. Working individually, draw the orbital diagram forthe configurations assigned to you, including both high-spin andlow-spin diagrams where possible. Present your diagrams to yourgroup. Combine all diagrams into one set for the group.arrow_forwardgive an example of tetradentate ligand.arrow_forward
