Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Difference between coordination number and oxidation number is to be defined.
Concept introduction:
When all the ligands and shared paired electron are removed from a coordination compound, the number of charge on central metal is called oxidation number. And a number of ligands are known as co-ordination number.
(b)
Interpretation:
Difference between monodentate and polydentate is to be defined.
Concept introduction:
During metal-ligand complex formation different ligands bind to the central metal ion which is known as coordination compound. Ligands can be of two types monodentate and polydentate.
(c)
Interpretation:
Difference between cis and trans isomers is to be defined.
Concept introduction:
The phenomenon of isomers having different structural composition is known as Structural isomerism. Isomers can be present in different forms known as Cis and Trans-forms.
(d)
Interpretation:
Difference Dextro and Levo rotatory are to be defined.
Concept introduction:
The phenomenon of isomers having different structural composition is known as Structural isomerism. And the isomers can rotate the plane-polarized light and can be divided into Dextro and Levo rotatory.
(e)
Interpretation:
Difference between low spin and high spin complex is to be defined.
Concept introduction:
According to crystal field theory splitting of d orbital occurs which leads to energy emission in the form of light. Here crystal field splitting is presented as
