what is the maximum number if unpaired d electrons that an octahedral transition mental complex can have? predict a compound that would have this number of unpaired electrons.

How many unpaired electrons are in a high-spin octahedral complex having 9 d electrons?

A hypothetical metal M forms the following complexes with the generalized ligands X, Y, and Z:   Complex ion Observed color [M(X)6]3+ green [M(Y)6]3+ blue [M(Z)6]3+ yellow Order these ligands according to their ability to split d orbitals. In other words, set up a spectrochemical series, from strongest to weakest ligand field strength. Rank from strongest to weakest ligand field strength.    -X -Z -Y

Match the orbitals below to the higher and lower energy levels when an octahedral complex undergoes ligand field splitting. dx2-y2 Orbital 1 Orbital 1 Orbital 2 Orbital 3 Orbital 4 Orbital 5 L d₂2 Orbital 2 L dyz Orbital 3 dxz Orbital 4 [Choose] ◊ [Choose] ↑ [Choose] ◊ [Choose] [Choose] ↑ L dxy Orbital 5

Which molecular geometry would you not expect any transition metal complex to adopt? Group of answer choices trigonal planar square planar seesaw octahedral

You are comparing two coordination complexes that have the same molecular shape and central metal cation. Complex A has only chloride ligands and Complex B had only CO ligands. Which statements are true regarding the complexes? Select all that apply. Complex A has the smaller crystal field splitting. Light of higher frequency is required to promote an electron from the lower to the higher d orbitals in complex A relative to complex B. The light emitted as a photon is released to relax an electron from higher to lower energy d orbitals has a longer wavelength for complex A. Light of higher frequency is required to promote an electron from the lower to the higher d orbitals in complex B relative to complex A. The light emitted as a photon is released to relax an electron from higher to lower energy d orbitals has a longer wavelength for complex B. Complex B has the smaller crystal field splitting.
