When the paramagnetic [co(cn)6] 4– ion is oxidized to [co(cn)6] 3– , the ion becomes diamagnetic. however, when the paramagnetic

[co(ox)3] 4– is oxidized to [co(ox)3] 3– , the ion remains paramagnetic. here ‘ox' denotes a bidentate chelating ligand. explain these observations in detail using crystal field theory and crystal field splitting diagrams?

Answer:  
Basically, paramagnetic and diamagnetic refer to the way a chemical species interacts with a magnetic field. More specifically, it refers to whether or not a chemical species has any unpaired electrons or not. 
 A diamagnetic species has no unpaired electrons, while a paramagnetic species has one or more unpaired electrons. 
 Now, I won't go into too much detail about crystal field theory in general, since I assume that you're familiar with it. 
 So, you're dealing with the hexafluorocobaltate(III) ion, [CoF6]3â’, and the hexacyanocobaltate(III) ion, [Co(CN)6]3â’. 
 You know that [CoF6]3â’ is paramagnetic and that [Co(CN)6]3â’ is diamagnetic, which means that you're going to have to determine why the former ion has unpaired electrons and the latter does not. 
 Both complex ions contain the cobalt(III) cation, Co3+, which has the following electron configuration 
  Co3+:1s22s22p63s23p63d6 
 For an isolated cobalt(III) cation, all these five 3d-orbitals are degenerate. The thing to remember now is that the position of the ligand on the spectrochemical series will determine how these d-orbtals will split. 
 More specifically, you can say that 
  a strong field ligand will produce a more significant splitting energy, Δ  a weak field ligand will produce a less significant splitting energy, Δ 
 Now, the spectrochemical series looks like this 
 http://chemedu.pu.edu.tw/genchem/delement/9.htmhttp://chemedu.pu.edu.tw/genchem/delement/9.htm 
 Notice that the cyanide ion, CNâ’, is higher on the spectrochemical series than the fluoride ion, Fâ’. This means that the cyanide ion ligands will cause a more significant energy gap between the eg and t2g orbitals when compared with the fluoride ion ligands.

 In the case of the hexafluorocobaltate(III) ion, the splitting energy is smaller than the electron pairing energy, and so it is energetically favorable to promote two electrons from the t2g orbitals to the eg orbitals → a high spin complex will be formed. 
 This will ensure that the hexafluorocobaltate(III) ion will have unpaired electrons, and thus be paramagnetic. 
 On the other hand, in the case of the hexacyanocobaltate(III) ion, the splitting energy is higher than the electron pairing energy, and so it is energetically favorable to pair up those four electrons in the t2g orbitals → a low spin complex is formed. 
 Since it has no unpaired electrons, the hexacyanocobaltate(III) ion will be diamagnetic.

Why neon has zero valency?​
Advocard [28]

Answer:

hope it helps you

Explanation:

Helium has two electrons in its energy shell, while argon and neon have 8 electrons in their valence shells. As these have maximum number of electrons in their valence shells, they do not have any tendency to combine with other elements. Hence, they have a valency equal to zero.

A grating has 470 lines/mm. how many orders of the visible wavelength 538 nm can it produce in addition to the m = 0 order?
maria [59]

Three complete orders on each side of the m=0 order can be produced in addition to the m = 0 order.

The ruling separation is

d=1 / (470mm −1) = 2.1×10⁻³ mm

Diffraction lines occur at angles θ such that dsinθ=mλ, where λ is the wavelength and m is an integer.

Notice that for a given order, the line associated with a long wavelength is produced at a greater angle than the line associated with a shorter wavelength.

We take λ to be the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum (538nm) and find the greatest integer value of m such that θ is less than 90°.

That is, find the greatest integer value of m for which mλ<d.

since  d / λ = 538×10⁻⁹m / 2.1×10 −6 m ≈ 3

that value is m=3.

There are three complete orders on each side of the m=0 order.

The second and third orders overlap.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

. B. The boxes must minimize thermal energy transfer to prevent thermal energy from transferring into the boxes.

Explanation:

If a box is to remain cool, energy transfer into the box must be minimized and energy transfer out of the box must be maximized.

This implies that only a minimal amount of thermal energy can transfer into the box while the box looses heat rapidly. If a box is this designed, it is likely to remain cool.
