Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The compound
Concept Introduction:
Reduction: If electrons are gained to a species during a
Oxidation: If electrons are moved from a species during a chemical reaction. The species whose electrons are removed is said to be oxidized.
Lewis acid: The chemical species which accepts pair of electrons are termed as Lewis acid.
Lewis base: The chemical species which donates pair of electrons are termed as Lewis base.
Coordination compounds: The compounds having coordination covalent bonds which form when metal ions react with polar molecules or anions.
Ligands: The ions or molecules that forms coordination covalent bond with metal ions in a coordination compound.
Ligands should have minimum one lone pair of electron, where it donates two electrons to the metal. Metal atom accepts the electron pair from a ligand forming a coordination bond.
Bidentate ligand is ligands which donate two pair of electrons to form bond with metal.

- Do you think that the formation of [CoCl4]2-(aq) is endothermic or exothermic? Explain.arrow_forwardwhat is the reaction in FeCl3 + pb(no3)2arrow_forwardK2Cr207 + 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_forward
- How would you draw the isomer structure(s) for [Cr(en)2BrCl] 1+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_forwardwhat is the shape of [Co(NH3)6]^3+ ?arrow_forward
- The self exchange electron-transfer reaction between [Co(en)3]3+ and [Co(en)3]2+ is rather slow. Explain this observation on the basis of d-orbital occupations.arrow_forward2) What are the oxidation state for As and Cl in AsCl from this reaction? 2 As (s) + 3 Cl2 (g) -> 2 AsCl3arrow_forwardTaking into account the Jahn-Teller effect, predict the structure of [Cr(OH2)6]^2+arrow_forward
- Would you expect [Co(CN)6] 3- to be a powerful or weak oxidizing agent? Explain.arrow_forwardDichromate, Cr2O7 2– , and permanganate, MnO4 – , are both common oxidising agents. When mixed, would acidified dichromate oxidise Mn2+ or would acidified permanganate oxidise Cr3+? Explain what you think would happen and write a chemical equation to show this.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
