Question 1

Labile/Non-Labile

Answer 1

Labile is when a complex undergoes rapid transitions

Non-labile are thermodynamically unstable complexes that survive for a long period of time

Question 2

Jahn Teller defintion

Answer 2

If a ground electronic configuration of a complex is orbitally degenerate then the geometry of the complex will distort to remove the degeneracy and achieve a lower energy
