Q

High spin complexes

A

energy to pair an electron (p) is greater than delta oct, weak ligands

20
Q

Low spin complexes

A

energy to pair electron (p) is less than delta oct, strong ligands

21
Q

Paramagnetism

A

attracted to magnetic field, weak ligands result in unpaired electrons

22
Q

diamagnetism

A

weak magnetic repellance, all electrons are paired (strong ligands)

23
Q

square planar

A

always low spin, octahedral w/ infinite axial bonds

24
Q

color seen is

A

complementary to that absorbed

25
Q

strong field ligands

A

induce large splittings, absorbe high energy light (small wavelength)

26
Q

weak field ligands

A

induce small splittings, absorb low energy light (big wavelength)

27
Q

solve for delta oct

A

given wavelength of absorbance, use vλ = c to solve for v, then E=hv to solve for energy,

28
