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

Why is the pressure 101.3kPa significant
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Explanation:

The kPa-kilopascal is the unit of pressure. It was named after Blaise Pascal, a mathematician and physicist.

The kPa is 1000Pa. Kilo stands for 1000. Now what is a pascal?

A pascal is the amount of force(Newton) exerted per unit area.

            1Pa = 1Nm⁻²

At the standard atmospheric level, the pressure is 101.325 x 10³ Nm⁻² i.e the atmosphere exerts a pressure of 101.325 x 10³N in an area of a body.

This unit is used to calculate pressure. It can be converted to other units.

A solid reactant is placed into a beaker of a warm water. The liquid vigorously bubbles as the solid dissolves into the solution
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Fewer bubbles will be produced because of fewer collisions of reactant molecules

Explanation:

As the solid dissolves into the solution after the liquid has been vigorously bubbled, if the temperature of the liquid is reduced a little, what will happen is that fewer bubbles will be produced as a result of lesser amount of collisions occurring between the reactant molecules
