Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The name of the given ion
Concept introduction:
Coordination compounds: The compounds having coordination covalent bonds which form when metal ions react with polar molecules or anions.
Ligands: The ions or molecules that forms coordination covalent bond with metal ions in a coordination compound. Ligands should have minimum one lone pair of electron, where it donates two electrons to the metal. Metal atom accepts the electron pair from a ligand forming a coordination bond.
Monodentate ligand is ligands which donate only one pair of electrons to form bond with metal. It only makes one bond with metal. Polydentate ligand forms two or more coordination bond with metal ions to form a complex.
Oxidation number: The total number of electrons in an atom after losing or gaining electrons to make a bond with another atom. It indicates the charge of an ion.
The rule to name a coordination complex is,
- 1. The cation is named before the anion.
- 2. Within a complex ion, the Ligands are arranged in an alphabetical order followed by the metal ion name. The anionic Ligand should ends with a letter –o, the neutral Ligand are called by the molecules (some common name for some exception).
- 3. When more Ligands are present, Greek prefixes like di, tri, tetra, penta, and hexa to specify their number.
- 4. The oxidation number of the metal is represented in roman numerals immediately following the metal ion name.
- 5. If the complex ion is an anion, the metal name should end with –ate.

Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity
- Four 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_forwardWhy are K3[Cr(C2O4)3]*3H2O and K3[Fe(C2O4)3]*3H2O colored, whereas K3[Al(C2O4)3]*3H2O is colorless?arrow_forwardIn [Cr(NH₃)₆]Cl₃, the [Cr(NH₃)₆]³⁺ ion absorbs visiblelight in the blue-violet range, and the compound is yellow-orange. In [Cr(H₂O)₆]Br₃, the [Cr(H₂O)₆]³⁺ ion absorbs visiblelight in the red range, and the compound is blue-gray. Explain these differences in light absorbed and color of the compoundarrow_forward
- When cobalt(II) chloride is treated, under certain condition, with the bidentate ligand, NH2CH2CH2NH2, (which can be represented by the symbol “en”), the compound [CoC12(en)2]Cl is formed. a. What is the coordination number of cobalt in this compound? b. When this compound is treated with aqueous silver nitrate, only one mole of silver chloride is produced per mole of compound. Explain this observation.arrow_forwardBriefly speculate on why many cobalt (III) compounds are prepared by oxidizing CO(II) salts rather than by substitituting ligands in cobalt (III) complexes.arrow_forwardWhen cobalt(II) chloride is treated, under certain condition, with the bidentate ligand, NH2CH2CH2NH2, (which can be represented by the symbol “en”), the compound [CoC12(en)2]Cl is formed. a. What is the coordination number of cobalt in this compound?arrow_forward
- The complex [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 is yellow orange while [Co(OH2)3F3] is blue. Suggest an explanation for this difference in color.arrow_forwardLet us consider the following coordination complexes: [Fe(CN6)]3- Given that the chloride ion and the water molecule are weak field ligands whereas ammonia, CN- and CO are high field ligands, determine the electron structure of the cobalt complex ion using an energy diagram of the d orbitals established according to the crystal field theory.arrow_forwardFor the [Co(ox)3] -3complex What's the name of the complex? Draw the structure of the complex, does it have an enantiomer? The complex was found to be diamagnetic, does the ligand act against a weak base ligand or against a strong field ligand?. Explain by drawing the array of levels and presenting electronic d at these levelsarrow_forward
- Arrange the following complexes in terms of ligand strength: [Cr(OH)6]3–, [Cr(NH3)6]3+, and [Cr(NH3)5Cl]2+arrow_forwardIf you want to use any of the [IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2] and [(η6-C6H6)Cr(CO)3] complexes as a catalyst in any organic reaction, which would you prefer? Please explain.arrow_forward[Cu(NH3)5Cl]2+ - name the complexarrow_forward
