Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Distribution of d-electrons and the geometry of the complex ion
Concept Introduction:
Complex compounds exist in following geometries - tetrahedral, square planar, octahedral etc.
When ligands approach the metal ion the degeneracy in d-orbitals of the metal ion is destroyed and they split into two different energy levels. In case of tetrahedral complex, the
In case of square planar complex, the 5 d-orbitals split into following pattern and it is given below with increasing order of energy.
(a)
Answer to Problem 22.59QP
The d-electrons are distributed in the complex ion
The complex has square planar geometry.
Explanation of Solution
In the complex ion
The distribution of d-electrons as shown above correlates to that of square planar geometry. Hence the complex ion
Splitting of d-orbitals determines the geometry of the complex.
