- [FeF6]3− is almost colourless whereas [CoF6]3−is coloured (and has only 1 band in the visible region ofthe spectrum). why?arrow_forwardDescribe the periodic trends in radii and oxidation states of the transition-metal ions, including the origin and effect of the lanthanide contraction.arrow_forwardWhich oxide, Mn₂O₃ or Mn₂O₇, is more basic in water?Why?arrow_forward
- Suggest why the fluoride compound in which chromium has its highest oxidation state is CrF6 whereas the highest oxidation state chromium has in a chloride is CrCl4arrow_forwardExplain the following observations: (i) The enthalpies of atomisation of transition metals are quite high. (ii) There is a close similarity in physical and chemical properties of the 4d and 5d series of the transition elements, much more than expected on the basis of usual family relationship. (iii) The members in the actinoid series exhibit larger number of oxidation states than the corresponding members in the lanthanoid series.arrow_forwardGiving one example in each of the following cases, discuss briefly the role of coordination compounds in(i) extraction metallurgy of metals(ii) analytical chemistryarrow_forward
- Discuss the structure of chlorophyll from the aspects of coordination chemistry, e.g. oxidation state of the metal centre, coordination number, etc.arrow_forward(a) What are the different oxidation states exhibited by the lanthanoids? (b) Write two characteristics of the transition elements. (c) Which of the 3d-block elements may not be regarded as the transition elements and why?arrow_forwardDichromate, Cr2O7 2– , and permanganate, MnO4 – , are both common oxidising agents. When mixed, would acidified dichromate oxidise Mn2+ or would acidified permanganate oxidise Cr3+? Explain what you think would happen and write a chemical equation to show this.arrow_forward
- Based on Crystal Field Theory, discuss why [MnO4] is deeply coloured.arrow_forwardWhen we consider the reaction of Fe3+ ion (SCN) with its ligand, by showing the ion-ligand bond in the product that may occur in the reaction; discuss why?arrow_forwardAmines, NR3, are usually only weakly coordinating toward low valent metals. why is this so?Do you think that NF3would be abetter ligand for these metals? Discuss the factors involved.arrow_forward
