Concept explainers
Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the fact that
Concept introduction: If a molecule contains unpaired electrons, then, it is said to be paramagnetic, whereas if a molecule does not contain any unpaired electron, then, it is said to be diamagnetic.
Weak field ligand that has small crystal field splitting energy gives high spin due to the presence of maximum unpaired electrons in lower energy
Strong field ligand that has large crystal field splitting energy gives low spin due to the presence of maximum paired electrons in lower energy
To determine: An explanation corresponding to the fact that

- Give the number of unpaired electrons in octahedral complexes with strong-field ligands for (a) Rh3+ (b) Mn3+ (c) Ag+ (d) Pt4+ (e) Au3+arrow_forwardFour 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_forward
