Concept explainers
Interpretation: The name or structural formula for each of the following ligands has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Coordination compounds: The compounds having coordination covalent bonds which form when metal ions react with polar molecules or anions.
Ligands: The ions or molecules that forms coordination covalent bond with metal ions in a coordination compound. Ligands should have minimum one lone pair of electron, where it donates two electrons to the metal. Metal atom accepts the electron pair from a ligand forming a coordination bond.
Monodentate ligand is ligands which donate only one pair of electrons to form bond with metal. It only makes one bond with metal. Polydentate ligand forms two or more coordination bond with metal ions to form a complex.

- For each d electron configuration, state the number of unpaired electrons expected in octahedral complexes. Give an example complex for each case. (Two answers are possible for some of these cases.) (a) d2 (b) d4 (c) d6 (d) d8arrow_forwardClassify each ligand as monodentate, bidentate, and so on. (a) (CH3)3P (b) H2N(CH2)2NH(CH2)2NH2 (c) H2Oarrow_forwardCoordination Compounds form when one or more ligands donate lone pairs to a transition metal forming a dative bond. Consider different structural aspects of coordination compounds. A ligand must have a lone pair of electrons to donate to the transition metal. Usually, drawing a Lewis structure is the best way to determine whether a compound has a lone pair. Draw the Lewis structure of BF,. 3' Can this molecule act as a ligand?arrow_forward
- The DOTA ligand is a cyclic octadentate ligand with four N- donors and four O-donors. * True O Falsearrow_forwardDraw all the isomers of an octahedral complex having four different monodentate ligands. Indicate optical isomers.arrow_forwardGive two examples of ligands which form coordination compounds useful in analytical chemistry.arrow_forward
- . Show how the glycinate ion (H2N-CH2-COO-) can actas a bidentate ligand. (Draw a Lewis diagram if necessary.)Which atoms in the glycinate ion will bind to a metal ion?arrow_forwardWhat is the most crucial feature that a molecule should have so that it can be considered a ligand? Presence of at least one pair of unshared electrons Presence of a hydrogen atom Presence of an unfilled d orbital Presence of an acidic grouparrow_forwardWhat are ligands? Give examplesarrow_forward
