REMOVAL REVIEW (Part 2)

Question 1

TRUE OR FALSE
In coordination compounds, the splitting of d orbitals leads to the formation of t2g and eg orbitals in an octahedral field.

Answer 1

TRUE

Question 2

TRUE OR FALSE
Π bonding in coordination compounds involves the overlap of ligand orbitals with the metal ion’s p orbitals.

Answer 2

TRUE

Question 3

TRUE OR FALSE
The spectrochemical series is used to predict the electronic configuration, magnetic properties, and color of coordination compounds based on the nature of the ligands present.

Answer 3

TRUE

Question 4

TRUE OR FALSE
In coordination chemistry, Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT) considers the delocalization of electrons over the entire complex and provides a more detailed description of bonding compared to Crystal Field Theory (CFT) and Valence Bond Theory (VBT)

Answer 4

TRUE

Question 5

TRUE OR FALSE
According to CFT, the strength of the ligand field is determined solely by the metal ion’s identity.

Answer 5

FALSE

According to CFT, the strength of the ligand field is determined by multiple factors, including the metal ion’s identity, charge, and the ligands themselves

Question 6

TRUE OR FALSE
VBT suggests that the d orbitals of the metal ion in a coordination compound always participate in hybridization to form metal-ligand bonds.

Answer 6

FALSE

VBT suggests that the d orbitals of the metal ion in a coordination compound may or may not participate in hybridization to form metal-ligand bonds, depending on the ligand.

Question 7

TRUE OR FALSE
When naming a coordination compound, the ligands are listed in alphabetical order regardless of their charge.

Answer 7

TRUE

Question 8

TRUE OR FALSE
In coordination compounds, cationic complexes are named by placing the prefix for the metal before the name of the metal.

Answer 8

FALSE

In coordination compounds, cationic complexes are named by placing the prefix for the ligand is placed before the name of the metal

Question 9

TRUE OR FALSE
When naming polydentate ligands in coordination compounds, prefixes like “di-”, “tri-”, and “tetra-” are used without modification.

Answer 9

FALSE

When naming polydentate ligands in coordination compounds, prefixes like “di-”, “tri-”, and “tetra-” are used with modifications such as “bis-“, “tris-“, and “tetrakis-“.

Question 10

TRUE OR FALSE
In a coordination compound, the ligands can alter the redox potential of the central metal atom, affecting its catalytic properties.

Answer 10

TRUE

Question 11

TRUE OR FALSE
The stability of a coordination compound under reaction conditions is crucial for its effectiveness as a catalyst.

Answer 11

TRUE

Question 12

TRUE OR FALSE
Only transition metals can form coordination compounds that act as catalysts.

Answer 12

TRUE
