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.
Identify the ligands from the following coordination compounds:
(a) [Co(en)2Cl(NO2)2]
(b) K[Co(CN)(CO2)(NO)]
(c) K3[Al(OH)6]
(d) [Co(H2O)2(NH3)4](OH)3
