Question
Give one use of Ni(CO)4.
Solution
Ni(CO)4 is used in the purification of nickel.
Give one use of Ni(CO)4.
Indicate the type of isomerism exhibited by the following complexes and draw structures for these isomers:
(i) K[Cr(H2O)2(C2O4)2], (ii) [Co(en)3Cl3,
(iii) [Co(NH3)5(NO2)]|NO3]2, (iv) [Pt(NH3)(H2O)Cl2]
Predict the number of unpaired electrons in the square planar [Pt(CN)4,]2– ion.
The hexaquo manganese(II) ion contains five unpaired electrons, while the hexacynoion contains only one unpaired electron. Explain using crystal field theory.
