In 2001, chemists at SUNY-Stony Brook succeeded in syn-thesizing the complex trans-[Fe(CN)4(CO)2]2-, which could be a model of complexes that may have played a role in the origin of life. Would you expect this complexto be high spin or low spin? Explain.
Atomic Structure
The basic structure of an atom is defined as the component-level of atomic structure of an atom. Precisely speaking an atom consists of three major subatomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Many theories have been stated for explaining the structure of an atom.
Shape of the D Orbital
Shapes of orbitals are an approximate representation of boundaries in space for finding electrons occupied in that respective orbital. D orbitals are known to have a clover leaf shape or dumbbell inside where electrons can be found.

The compounds where metal ion is the central metal and molecules that can share their electron with others called the ligands form bonds with the metal ion, are known as complex compounds. They are formed by making coordinate covalent bonds. These compounds are of great importance in medical sciences and polymer chemistry.
