Give the coordination number of the central metal ion in the following complex ions.

Chemistry
1 answer:
melomori [17]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a). Coordination no. of [Ni(en)_2(NH_3)_2]^2+ = 6

b). Coordination no. of [Fe(en)(ox)Cl_2]^2- = 6

Explanation:

Coordination number is defined as number of donar atoms bonded to the central atom of the complex ion.

a). Coordination no. of [Ni(en)_2(NH_3)_2]^2+ = 6

en or ethylenediamine is a bidentate ligand.

In bidentate ligand, two atoms directly bonded to the central atom.

NH3 is a unidentate ligand.

So, coordination no.= No. of bidentate ligand x 2 + No. of unidentate ligand

                                = 2\times 2 + 2 = 6

b). Coordination no. of [Fe(en)(ox)Cl_2]^2- = 6

Ethylenediamine (en) is a bidentate ligand.

oxalate ion (ox) is also a bidentate ligand.

Cl is a unidentate ligand

So, coordination no.= No. of bidentate ligand x 2 + No. of unidentate ligand

                                = 2\times 2 + 2 = 6

Is the sky actually blue?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

When we look at an arbitrary point in the sky, away from the sun, we see only the light that was redirected by the atmosphere into our line of sight. Because that occurs much more often for blue light than for red, the sky appears blue. Violet light is actually scattered even a bit more strongly than blue.

How can you tell a chemical change has happened?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

How can I tell if a chemical reaction is occurring? A chemical reaction is usually accompanied by easily observed physical effects, such as the emission of heat and light, the formation of a precipitate, the evolution of gas, or a color change.

How does advertising affect the sales of orbit white
MAXImum [283]
It would get the news out about Orbit White, and people would hear about it, and/or see the advert.  They might even want to buy it or go into the grocery store thinking about it and end up buying it. 

I hope I didn't misread the question because this looks more like an English/ Social Studies question than a chemistry question.

Which is true regarding the penetrating power of radiation?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Gamma radiation have the most penetrating power. It can penetrate through human body, aluminum and other metals. It can be stopped by lead. Hence, the radioactive waste are stored in lead container for safety purposes. The beta ray has more penetrating power than the alpha but less than gamma. The beta radiations can be stopped by aluminum. The alpha radiations have least penetrating power and it can be stopped by human hands.

What are the 6 things needed on a graph?
Furkat [3]
1. Always give your graph a title in the following form: "The dependence of (your dependent variable) on (your independent variable). <span><span>Let's say that you're doing a graph where you're studying the effect of temperature on the speed of a reaction. In this reaction, you're changing the temperature to known values, so the temperature is your independent variable. Because you don't know the speed of the reaction and speed depends on the temperature, the speed of the reaction is your dependent variable. As a result, the title of your graph will be "The dependence of reaction rate on temperature", or something like that.</span> 

 </span>2. The x-axis of a graph is always your independent variable and the y-axis is the dependent variable.<span>For the graph described above, temperature would be on the x-axis (the one on the bottom of the graph), and the reaction rate would be on the y-axis (the one on the side of the graph) 

 </span>3. Always label the x and y axes and give units.<span>Putting numbers on the x and y-axes is something that everybody always remembers to do (after all, how could you graph without showing the numbers?). However, people frequently forget to put a label on the axis that describes what those numbers are, and even more frequently forget to say what those units are. For example, if you're going to do a chart which uses temperature as the independent variable, you should write the word "temperature (degrees Celsius)" on that axis so people know what those numbers stand for. Otherwise, people won't know that you're talking about temperature, and even if they do, they might think you're talking about degrees Fahrenheit. 
 
</span>4. Always make a line graph<span><span>Never, ever make a bar graph when doing science stuff. Bar graphs are good for subjects where you're trying to break down a topic (such as gross national product) into it's parts. When you're doing graphs in science, line graphs are way more handy, because they tell you how one thing changes under the influence of some other variable. </span> 
 
</span><span>5. Never, EVER, connect the dots on your graph!Hey, if you're working with your little sister on one of those placemats at Denny's, you can connect the dots. When you're working in science, you never, ever connect the dots on a graph.Why? When you do an experiment, you always screw something up. Yeah, you. It's probably not a big mistake, and is frequently not something you have a lot of control over. However, when you do an experiment, many little things go wrong, and these little things add up. As a result, experimental data never makes a nice straight line. Instead, it makes a bunch of dots which kind of wiggle around a graph. This is normal, and will not affect your grade unless your teacher is a Nobel prize winner. However, you can't just pretend that your data is perfect, because it's not. Whenever you have the dots moving around a lot, we say that the data is noisy, because the thing you're looking for has a little bit of interference caused by normal experimental error.</span><span>To show that you're a clever young scientist, your best bet is to show that you KNOW your data is sometimes lousy. You do this by making a line (or curve) which seems to follow the data as well as possible, without actually connecting the dots. Doing this shows the trend that the data suggests, without depending too much on the noise. As long as your line (or curve) does a pretty good job of following the data, you should be A-OK. 

 </span>6. Make sure your data is graphed as large as possible in the space you've been given.<span><span>Let's face it, you don't like looking at little tiny graphs. Your teacher doesn't either. If you make large graphs, you'll find it's easier to see what you're doing, and your teacher will be lots happier.</span> 
 </span><span>So, those are the steps you need to follow if you're going to make a good graph in your chemistry class. I've included a couple of examples of good and bad graphs below so you know what these things are supposed to look like.</span>
