Why do the metals Co, Rh, and Lr form octahedral complexes (rather than tetrahedral or square planar complexes)? Hint: Look at t

he placement in the periodic table and the respective electron configurations.
Chemistry

6 0

Explanation:

Octahedral complexes will be favoured over tetrahedral ones because:

It is more favourable to form six bonds rather than four

The crystal field stabilisation energy is usually greater for octahedral than tetrahedral complexes.

The transition metals Co, Rh, Lr are in group 9 of d block and they have 3d, 4d, and 5d orbitals respectively

The atomic number of lead (Pb) is 82. Its mass number is 207. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does this neutral atom o
AveGali [126]
An element’s atomic number is equal to the number of protons in that element’s nucleus. The mass number is the total number of an atom’s protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge; electrons have a negative charge; and neutrons are electrically neutral.

Putting it all together, given that the atomic number of lead is 82, the number of protons a lead atom contains is 82. The number of neutrons would be the difference between 207 and 82, or 125 neutrons. Finally, since you have a neutral atom, there must be an equal number of electrons as the number of protons—that is, 82 electrons.

Thus, you’ve got 82 protons, 125 neutrons, and 82 electrons.

Why are sodium ions good for making batteries?
Wewaii [24]

The largest advantage of sodium-ion batteries is the high natural abundance of sodium. This could make commercial production of sodium-ion batteries less expensive than lithium-ion batteries. As of 2020, sodium ion batteries have very little share of the battery market.
