Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of hydroxido ligand needs to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structures are also known as Lewis dot structures or electron dot structures. It gives a simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule. The covalent bonding of a molecule or ion is represented using simple representation as dots. The sharing of electrons is to get a stable octet structure. These electrons shared are represented as dots and it represents each atom to have eight electrons. The connectivity between the atoms within a molecule is represented easily. It is the valence electrons that are represented. Hence, even lone pairs can be indicated in the molecule.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of sulfato ligand needs to be drawn.
Concept introduction:

- What is the coordination number of the central metal atom in the following complexes? (a) [Fe(H2O)63+] (b) [Pt(NH3)Br3] (c) [V(en)Cl42] (d) [Au(CN)2+]arrow_forwardTwo different compounds are known with the formula Pd(py)2Cl2, but there is only one compound with the formula Zn(py)2Cl2. The symbol py is for pyridine, a mono-dentate ligand. Explain the differences in the Pd and Zncompounds.arrow_forwardTrimethylphosphine, P(CH3)3, can act as a ligand by donating the lone pair of electrons on the phosphorus atom. If trimethylphosphine is added to a solution of nickel(Il) chloride in acetone, a blue compound that has a molecular mass of approximately 270 g and contains 21.5% Ni, 26.0% Cl, and 52.5% P(CH3)3 can be isolated. This blue compound does not have any isomeric forms. What are the geometry and molecular formula of the blue compound?arrow_forward
