Final Flashcards
What electronic configurations lead to stable entities?
Fully filled, half filled and fully empty
Coordination bond
Chemical bonds that occur with the ligand donating two electrons to the metal
Monodentate
One bond (one electron pair)
Constitutional Isomers
Isomers that have different atomic connectivity
Coordination Isomers
Isomers that have different ligand connectivity
Linkage Isomers
Isomers that have different attachment of ligand
Isomers
Entities with the same chemical formula but different bonding and different properties
Stereoisomers
Isomers that have the same connectivity but different arrangement of atoms
Ligand Field Theory
The application of molecular orbital theory to transition metal complexes
Octahedral Complexes
The ligands interact directly with the d(x2-y2) and d(z2) orbitals
Tetrahedral Complexes
The ligands interact more with the d(xy) d(xz) and d(yz) orbitals
Spectrochemical Series
The order of splitting by ligands
Heat (q)
Energy transferred from a hotter to a cooler body
Work (w)
The product of force and distance
Energy
The capacity to do work
Kinetic Energy
The energy of motion
Potential Energy
The capability to do work as a result of position, condition or composition
Standard Reaction Conditions
Exist when reactions occur during pure substances, 1 mol/L substances, approx 1 bar partial pressure
