Oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound is composed of ions. In neutral substances that contains atoms of one element the oxidation number of an atom is zero. Thus atoms in O2, Ni2, and aluminium all have oxidation number of zero.
In this case, Ni2, the oxidation number of Ni atom is zero,
for NiO4-, assuming oxidation number of Ni is x
(x ×1) + (-2 × 4) = -1
x = + 7
Therefore, the oxidation number goes from 0 to +7
Using the same anchor points, he determined the freezing temperature for water to be 0 degree and the boiling temperature 100 degrees. The Celsius scale is known as a Universal System Unit. It is used throughout science and in most countries.
<span>1,3-cylohexadiene i synthesized starting from cyclohexane in following 4 steps.
1) Free Radical Substitution Rxn: Halogenation of cyclohexane in the presence of UV yield chlorocyclohexane.
2) Elimination Rxn: Dehydrohalogenation of chlorocyclohexane yields cyclohexene.
3) Halogenation of Cyclohexene (
Electrophillic Addition Rxn) gives 1,2-dihalocyclohexane.
4) Elemination Rxn: When dibromocyclohexane is treated with KOH and heated it gives 1,3-cyclohexadiene as shown below,</span>
To find - Identify what kind of ligand (weak or strong), what kind
of wavelength (long or short), what kind of spin (high spin or
low spin) and whether it is paramagnetic or diamagnetic for
the following complexes.
1. [Mn(CN)6]4-
2. [Fe(OH)(H2O)5]2
3. [CrCl4Br2]3-
Step - by - Step Explanation -
1.
[Mn(CN)⁶]⁴⁻ :
Ligand - Strong
Wavelength - Short
Spin - Low spin
Number of unpaired electrons = 1 ∴ paramagnetic.
2.
[Fe(OH)(H₂O)₅]²⁺ :
Ligand - Weak ( both OH⁻ and H₂O )
Wavelength - Long
Spin - High spin
Number of unpaired electrons = 5 ∴ paramagnetic.
3.
[CrCl₄Br₂]³⁻ :
Ligand - Weak ( both Br⁻ and Cl⁻ )
Wavelength - Long
Spin - High spin
Number of unpaired electrons = 3 ∴ paramagnetic.
