    Study Notes

    Effective Atomic Number Rule

    • The effective atomic number rule is related to the bonding patterns in metal complexes, particularly in organometallic chemistry.

    Characteristics of Complexes

    • Complexes that obey the effective atomic number rule typically have a noble gas configuration, which means they achieve a full outer energy level.

    Consequences of Achieving the Effective Atomic Number

    • The consequence of achieving the effective atomic number in a complex is that the metal center becomes more stable and less reactive.

    Examples of Complexes

    • Complexes that are likely to obey the effective atomic number rule are those with a metal center having a coordination number of 2, 4, or 6, such as Cr(CO)6 or Fe(CO)5.

    Significance in Organometallic Chemistry

    • The effective atomic number rule is significant in organometallic chemistry because it helps predict the stability and reactivity of metal complexes, which is crucial in understanding their chemical behavior and designing new reactions.
