Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The ligands in the crystal-field theory are given to be modeled like they are point charges. The basis of this assumption and its relationship with the nature of metal-ligand bond is to be determined.
Concept introduction: Crystal-field theory is used to explain the colors, structures, stability, magnetic behavior and properties of
To determine: The basis of the stated assumption and its relationship with the nature of metal-ligand bond.
