(a)
Interpretation:
To determine the ligand and their charges in
Concept introduction:
Coordination compounds are those in which a transition metal atom is bonded to a ligand which can be neutral, cation or anion. The
A ligand is an atom or a group of atoms or an anion that has an unshared pair of electrons and thus it can act as a Lewis base. It can donate its pair of electrons to the metal atom to form a coordinate bond with the transition metal atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
To determine the oxidation state of Cadmium in
Concept introduction:
Coordination compounds are those in which a transition metal atom is bonded to a ligand which can be neutral, cation or anion. The transition metal element is enclosed within a bracket and a charge is present on the ion to balance the charge present on the ligands.

- Platinum(II) forms many complexes, among them those with the following ligands. Give the formula and charge of each complex. (a) two ammonia molecules and one oxalate ion (C2O42-) (b) two ammonia molecules, one thiocyanate ion (SCN-), and one bromide ion (c) one ethylenediamine molecule and two nitrite ionsarrow_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_forwardHow many electrons are in the valence d orbitals in these transition-metal ions?

(A) Chloride is a more labile ligand than hydroxide in zinc complexes (B) Hydroxide is a more labile ligand than chloride in zinc complexes (C) Chloride is a more inert ligand than hydroxide in zinc complexes (D) Hydroxide and chloride are equally labile in zinc complexesarrow_forwardDraw the geometrical isomers of complex [Pt(NH3)2Cl2]. (ii) On the basis of crystal field theory, write the electronic configuration for d4 ion if Δ0 < P. (ii) Write the hybridization and magnetic behaviour of the complex [Ni(CO)4].arrow_forwardThe photographs below (a) show what occurs when a solution of iron(III) nitrate istreated with a few drops of aqueous potassium thiocyanate. The nearly colorlessiron(III) ion is converted to a red [Fe(H2O)5SCN)2+ion. (This is a classic test for thepresence of iron(III) ions in solution.)[Fe(H2O)6]3+(aq) + SCN−(aq) ⇄ [Fe(H2O)5SCN]2+(aq) + H2O(ℓ)(a) As more KSCN is added to the solution, the color becomes even more red.Explain this observation.(b) Silver ions form a white precipitate with SCN−ions.
