The d-orbitals in the central ion remain degenerate when the ligands are arranged in an octahedral way.

<p>False</p> Signup and view all the answers

The arrangement of ligands around the central ion has no effect on the energy levels of the d-orbitals.

<p>False</p> Signup and view all the answers

The energy level of the d-orbitals in the central ion is lowered due to the repulsion between the ligands and the d-orbitals.

Study Notes

Coordination Number

  • Represents the total number of chemical bonds formed between the central metal ion and the donor atoms of the ligands.

Isomerism

Ionization Isomerism

  • Complexes with the same empirical formula that give different ions in solution or ionization.
  • Example: [CoIII(NH3)5 Br] SO4 and [CoIII(NH3)5 SO4 ] Br are ionization isomers.

Hydrate Isomerism

  • Example: 3 isomers of [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3, differing in color and precipitate reaction with AgNO3.

Ligand Isomerism

  • Some ligands themselves are capable of existing as isomers.
  • Example: [Co(en)2 (C6 H 4CH 3 NH 2 )]Cl3, with ortho, para, and meta isomers.

Linkage Isomerism

  • Found in complexes where ligands can coordinate with the central metal ion through either of two atoms.
  • Example: [Co(NH3)4(NO2)]Cl2 and [Co(NH3)4(ONO)]Cl2, differing in color and acid dissociation.

Coordination Isomerism

  • Results from an exchange of ligands between the two coordination spheres of a complex compound with both cation and anion complex.
  • Examples include Ma2b c type complexes and [M(AB)2]n type complexes.

Complex Geometries

  • Ma2b c type complexes can exhibit cis and trans forms.
  • [M(AB)2]n type complexes, with unsymmetrical bidentate ligands, can lead to differences in d-orbital energy levels due to ligand field effects.
