Concept Introduction:
Ligands that cause a high degree of splitting among the
The weak-field ligand makes valence electrons enter into separate
Spectrochemical series:
These ligands are arranged in order of increasing value of
Strong field ligands form low spin complex.

- (NH4)2[MnF6] What is the name of the compound?arrow_forwardWhich of the following transition metal ions has a d⁵ electron configuration? A) Fe³⁺ B) Co³⁺ C) V⁴⁺ D) Ir⁺ E) Fe²⁺arrow_forwardGiven the spectrochemical series, which of the following would absorb light of the shortest wavelength? a) [CoCl6]3- b) [Co(H2O)6]3+ c) [Co(NH3)6]3+ d) [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ e) [Co(CN)6]3-arrow_forward
- Is this complex [Co(NH3)5CI]C12 paramagnetic or diamagnetic , explain?arrow_forwardThe complex [Ni(CN)4]2- is diamagnetic, but [NiCl4]2- is paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons. Likewise, [Fe(CN)6]3- has only one unpaired electron, but [Fe(H2O)6]3+ has five. Explain these experimental observations a) using VBT b) using CFTarrow_forwardWhich d orbitals are lowest in energy in a square planar complex? Select all that apply: dz2 dx2−y2 dxy dxz dyzarrow_forward
- 1. Draw all possible electron configurations for octahedral complexes having d" electrons where n=2-9. You will need to draw two spin states for n=4,5,6, and 7 (high spin and low spin configurations). For example, in the case of n=5 one should draw: Low Spin High Spin eg eg 10Dq 10Dq t2g t2garrow_forwardDoes [Co(en)2Cl2]+ have a inversion centre?arrow_forwardOn the basis of the 18-electron rule: a) Determine the identity of the metal M in [M(CO)7]+ b) Determine the charge Z on [Co(CO)3]Zarrow_forward
