When you have a free metal ion, how do the energies of these orbitals relate to one another (are they the same, different, etc.)

Answer:

The energy of the orbitals are the same

Explanation:

For a free metal ion, all the d-orbitals are of the same energy. The five d-orbitals are said to be five fold degenerate in the free metal ion. Hence all the d-orbitals will possess the same energy irrespective of which one is first filled.

In an octahedral or tetrahedral crystal field, the d-orbitals will loose their degeneracy and become different in energy based on their orientation towards the ligands.

How many acidic H+ ion is given by H3BO3 in aqueous solution?? ...?
notka56 [123]
Boric acid, H3BO3, in aqueous solution would only give out one H+ ion. As it is also produce OH ion and by hydrolysis it produces one proton. <span>All the boron compounds (BX3) are having only 6 valence electrons in it and should follow the octet rule by taking another electron.</span>

An iron loses electrons. State the type of charge it will end up with
erastova [34]

Answer:

Most atoms do not have eight electrons in their valence electron shell. Some atoms have only a few electrons in their outer shell, while some atoms lack only one or two electrons to have an octet. In cases where an atom has three or fewer valence electrons, the atom may lose those valence electrons quite easily until what remains is a lower shell that contains an octet. Atoms that lose electrons acquire a positive charge as a result because they are left with fewer negatively charged electrons to balance the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. Positively charged ions are called cations. Most metals become cations when they make ionic
