What type of geometrical shape the following types of hybrid orbitals have? (a) d2sp3, (b) dsp2.
The geometrical shape of the given hybird orbital is given according to valence bond theory :
a) d2sp3 = Octahedral geometry
b) dsp2 = Square planar
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.
