Chapter 5, Problem 51AP

Chromium(IV) oxide is used in making magnetic recording tapes because it is paramagnetic. It can be described as a solid made up of Cr 4 + and O 2 . Give the electron configuration of Cr 4 + in CrO 2 , and determine the number of unpaired electrons on each chromium ion.

The Coordination Principle describes the likely three-dimensional (i.e., polyhedral) relationship which forms between around cations. Here is a helpful table: anion polyhedron tetrahedron octahedron cation Na Fe²+ Given the following ionic radii, what is the anion polyhedron for each cation? Assume the coordinating anion is O²- which has a radius of 1.36 Å. One angstrom (A) = 0.0000001 mm. anion polyhedron Mg²+ Al³+ Coordination # 4 6 8 12 Si4+ radius 1.15 Å 0.78 Å 0.72 Å 0.54 Å cube close packing 0.26 Å Rcation: Ranion 0.23-0.41 0.41-0.73 0.73-0.99 ~1.00
Why is CN^1- not an acceptor (pi) as good as CO, even though they are isoelectronic?
TRUE OR FALSE Fe(NO3)3 is an acidic salt.
