Concept introduction:
The characters of the irreducible representations of the given point group can be multiplied by each other. The only condition is that the characters of the same symmetry operations are multiplied together. The multiplication of the characters is commutative.
The great orthogonality theorem for the reducible representation can be represented as,

Physical Chemistry
- Would you expect the Mg3[Cr(CN)5]2 to be diamagnetic or paramagnetic? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardThe solid anhydrous solid CoCl2 is blue in color. Because it readily absorbs water from the air, it is used as a humidity indicator to monitor if equipment (such as a cell phone) has been exposed to excessive levels of moisture. Predict what product is formed by this reaction, and how many unpaired electrons this complex will have.arrow_forwardTi(NH3)63+ has a d-orbital electron transition at 399 nm. Find o at this wavelength.arrow_forward
- Would you expect the complex [Co(en)3]Cl3 to have any unpaired electrons? Any isomers?arrow_forwardfe(h20)6 2+ compared to Ru(CO)6 2+ a) is mroe diamagnetic b) is going to absorb higher energy light c) going to emit higher energy lightarrow_forwardWhich of the following has the electron configuration [Ar] 4s23d5 ? Group of answer choices none of these Mn Ca V Brarrow_forward
- What is the abbreviated electron configuration of the metal ion in Cr2(SO4)3 ?arrow_forwardTetrahedral complexes such as [FeF4]2- possess a Td symmetry, as indicated in the picture below. Use group theory and symmetry operations to determine the reducible representation resulting from the combination of y vectors. Break the reducible into irreducible and decide which metal orbitals are likely used to form σ bonds.arrow_forwardWrite the condensed ground-state electron configurations of these transition metal ions, and indicate which are paramagnetic. (Type your answer using the format [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p1 for [Ar] 4s23d104p1.) (a) Mo3+ O paramagnetic O diamagnetic (b) Hf2+ O paramagnetic O diamagnetic (c) Mn2+ O paramagnetic O diamagnetic (d) v3+ O paramagnetic O diamagneticarrow_forward
