How many unpaired electrons are in the following complex ions?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Oduvanchick [21]3 years ago
8 0

Solution :

A complex ion may be defined as a metal ion that is located at the center with other molecules or ions surrounding the center ion.

In the context, the number of the unpaired electrons for the following complex ions are :

1. $Ru(NH_3)62+$  (low spin)

  $Ru^{2+} = [Kr] \ 4d^6 \ 5s^0$

   Here all the d-electrons are paired. Therefore, there are no unpaired electrons.

2. $Ni(H_2O)62+$  (high spin)

   $Ni^{2+} = [Ar] \ 4s^0 \ 3d^8$

   Therefore, it has two unpaired electrons.

3. $V(en)33+$  (high spin)

    $V=[Ar] \ 3d^2 \ 4s^0$

   It has 2 unpaired electrons

Bicycles that have been left outside in the summer will rust faster than bicycles kept inside. What causes the bicycles that are
professor190 [17]

Bikes that are kept outside are not used as often, speeding up the chemical reaction of metal rusting.
Heat energy from the sun slows down the chemical reaction of the metal rusting.
Moisture and oxygen cause oxidation, which speeds up the chemical reaction of the metal rusting.
Wind energy outside speeds up the chemical reaction of the metal rusting.

The figure above shows the electric field around a positive charge. Where is the field strongest
WINSTONCH [101]
The electric field, or any field such as magnetic field or gravitational field, is the strongest the closer we get to the source of the field. The concentration of field lines also increases closer to the object; these field lines are seen to be coming out of a positive charge. 
Therefore, the strongest electric field is at the point where the concentration of electric field lines is the highest.

Suppose that NaCl is added to hexane (C6H14) instead of water. Which of the following intermolecular forces will exist in the sy
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Ion-ion force between Na+ and Cl− ions

London dispersion force between two hexane molecules

Explanation:

"Ion-dipole force between Na+ ions and a hexane molecule " does not exist since hexane has only non-polar bonds and therefore no dipole.

"Ion-ion force between Na+ and Cl− ions " exists since both are ions.

"Dipole-dipole force between two hexane molecules " does not exist since hexane molecules do not have a dipole.

"Hydrogen bonding between Na+ ions and a hexane molecule " does not exist since the hydrogen in the hydrogen bond must be bonded directly to an electronegative atom, which hexane does not have since it is a hydrocarbon.

"London dispersion force between two hexane molecules" exist since hexane is a molecular compound.
