Concept Introduction:
Splitting of d-orbitals in an octahedral complex:
In an octahedral complex, there are six ligands attached to the central
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of unpaired electrons in the complexes
(c)
Interpretation:
The complex that absorbs longer wavelength has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Relation between energy and the wavelength:
The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency, but inversely proportional to its wavelength. In other words greater the energy larger will be the frequency and the shorter will be the wavelength.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Give the number of unpaired electrons in octahedral complexes with strong-field ligands for (a) Rh3+ (b) Mn3+ (c) Ag+ (d) Pt4+ (e) Au3+arrow_forwardFour different octahedral chromium coordination compounds exist that all have the same oxidation state for chromium and have H2O and Cl as the ligands and counterions. When 1 mole of each of the four compounds is dissolved in water, how many moles of silver chloride will precipitate upon addition of excess AgNO3?arrow_forward
