Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The possible isomers of the complex
Concept Introduction:
Isomers:
The compounds with same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of the atom are said to be isomers.
Linkage isomers:
Linkage isomerism occurs with ambidentate ligands that are capable of coordinating in more than one way.
Example:
Hydrate Isomers:
Hydrate isomers results from replacement of a coordinated group by a solvent molecule in this case it is a water molecule.
Stereo isomers:
Stereo isomers are the isomers that have same molecular formula but differ in spatial arrangement of atoms. Stereo isomers can be sub divided into two groups,
- Optical isomers
- Geometrical isomers
Geometric isomers:
If there is restricted rotation in a molecule there arise geometric isomerisms. Geometric isomers are also known as Cis- trans isomerism.
- If the two atoms locked in same side of the molecule then it is called as cis isomers.
- If the two atoms locked in opposite side of the molecule then it is called as trans isomers.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Draw all the possible geometric isomers for [CoBrCl(NH3)2(ox)]–.arrow_forwardOne of the steps for refining silver involves converting silver into dicyanoargenate(I) ions: 4Ag(s) + 8CN−(aq) + O2(g) + 2H2O(l) ⟶ 4[Ag(CN)2]−(aq) + 4OH−(aq)Explain why oxygen must be present to carry out the reaction. Why does the reaction not occur as: 4Ag(s) + 8CN−(aq) ⟶ 4[Ag(CN)2−(aq)?arrow_forwardexplain why [CoBr4]^-2 is green while [Co(NH3)6]^2+ is orangearrow_forward
- K2Cr207 + 7H2C204 · 2H2O 2K[Cr(C204)2(H2O)2] · 2H2O + 6CO2 + 13H2O Is this is redox reaction? if so, what element is being oxidized? what is initial and final oxidation state?arrow_forwardExplain how the diphosphate ion, [O3P−O−PO3]4−, can function as a water softener that prevents the precipitation of Fe2+ as an insoluble iron salt.arrow_forwardHow many valence electrons surround the metal atom in potassium ferrioxalate (K3[Fe(C2O4)³])?arrow_forward
- [Co(H2O)6]3+ has how many unpaired electrons? the answer was 4 but I don't know how I get to the answer.arrow_forward[Co(H2O)6]2+ (aq) + 4 Cl-(aq )⇆ [CoCl4]2-(aq) + 6 H2O 3. Does the value of the equilibrium constant (K) for this reaction increase, decrease, or remain the same as the concentration of chloride increases? Explain your answer incorporating the definition of an equilibrium constant.arrow_forwardIf MnO4 − is purple and CrO4 2− is yellow, what color would you expect VO4 3− to be? Explain the nature (cause) of these colors and the trend in how they differ.arrow_forward
