26
Q

State an advantage and disadvantage of using transition metals as catalysts

A
  • Reduces energy usage which improves profits
  • However, they are toxic
27
Q

Define complex

A
  • A central metal ion surrounded by ligands
28
Q

Define ligand

A
  • An atom, ion or molecule which can donate a lone pair of electrons
29
Q

State the type of bonding used in complex formation

A
  • Co-ordinate/dative covalent
30
Q

Define co-ordination number

A
  • The number of co-ordinate bonds formed to a central metal ion
31
Q

Define bidentate ligand

A
  • A ligand that donates two electron pairs to a metal ion to form two co-ordinate bonds with the metal ion
32
Q

Define monodetate ligand

A
  • A ligand that donates one electron pair to a metal ion to form one co-ordinate bond with the metal ion
33
Q

Draw the two optical isomers of the complex ion ethandioate and state the co-ordinate number

A
  • 6
34

35
Q

State what is required for cis-trans isomerism in square planar complexes

A
  • Four ligands where two are the same and the other two are the same
36
Q

State what is required for cis-trans isomerism in octahedral complexes

A
  • Six ligands where four are the same and the other two are the same
37
Q

State what is required for optical isomerism in octahedral complexes

A
  • Three bidentate ligands
38
Q

Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the use of cisplatin

A
  • Anti-cancer drug used in chemotherapy
  • Binds to the DNA in cancer cells to prevent division and stop cancer
  • However can cause hairloss, sickness and fatigue if it binds to healthy cells
39
Q

Define ligand substitution

A
  • A reaction where one ligand is substituted for another ligand in a complex ion
40
Q

Explain the importance of iron in haemoglobin in terms of ligand substitution

A
  • O₂ is a ligand that datively/co-ordinately bonds with Fe²⁺ so that oxygen can be carried in the blood
  • When required, O₂ is released
41
Q

Explain why carbon monoxide is toxic in terms of ligand substitution

A
  • CO is a ligand that datively/co-ordinately bonds with Fe²⁺ in haemoglobin
  • These are stronger than the ones O₂ forms with Fe²⁺ in haemoglobin
  • This prevents O₂ from bonding to it
42
Q
