Q

How to find oxidation number steps

A
  1. Write out molecule name
  2. Identify transition metal
  3. Add +1 if positive -1 if negative or 0 if no charge
  4. Multiply the number of atoms by the valency (+ if metal, - if non metal) for atoms that aren’t the transition metal
  5. Add the numbers together

  4. add charge outside square brackets

calculate charge:

charge of TM ion + charge of ligands

115
Q

rules for writing complexes

A

symbol of the metal is written first

this is follow by the symbols of the ligands

ligands are written in alphabetical order according to which atom of the ligand binds.

eg, water is written as OH2

formula of complex ion is enclosed in square brackets with charge outside

116
Q

rules for naming complex ions

A

ligands are named in alphabetical order

ligands are followed by the name of the metal and its oxidation state

if there is more than one of a ligand, the name of the ligand is preceded by the prefix for the no., eg di, tri, tetra

if the ligand is a negative ion ending in -ide, the ligands name charges to end in ‘o’. chloride -> chlorido

ammonia=ammine
water=aqua

if the complex is a negative ion, the name of the complex ends in -ate

copper=cupprate
ion=ferrate

if the complex is a salt, the name of the positive ion precedes the name of thr negative ion

128
Q

129
Q

How are different colours formed

A

Ligands split the degenerate d orbitals into orbitals of different energies

The difference in energy corresponds to light in three visible religion of the spectrum

130
Q

How do ligands cause different colours

A

They cause differing degrees of splitting

131
Q

Why peaks are at shorter wavelengths for one ligand

A

Ligand results in greater ligand field splitting

This means that more energy is needed to promote the electron

Therefore the wavelength absorbed is less
