Question

Select the TRUE statements below regarding the coordination compound prepared in lab. Group of answer choices The coordination compound contained a complex ion that was covalently bonded to sulfate. The ligand must have at least one unshared pair of valence electrons in order to covalently bond with transition metal in the coordination compound. Ethanol was used during crystallization of the coordination compound because the compound is soluble in ethanol. The ammonia is covalently bonded to the transition metal. The colors of many coordination compounds are the result of light absorption by the d electrons on the transition metal.

Answer 1

Answer: Hello the compound is missing but I was able to get the Full question and missing compound . ( compound = copper sulfate )

answer : statement ; 2 , 3 and 5

Explanation:

The true statements regarding the coordination compound ( copper sulfate ) are :

• The ligand must have at least one unshared pair of valence electrons in order to covalently bond with transition metal in the coordination compound ( statement 2 )
• Ethanol was used during crystallization of the coordination compound because the compound is soluble in ethanol ( statement 3 )
• The colors of many coordination compounds are the result of light absorption by the d electrons on the transition metal ( statement 5 )

During the coordination of compounds dative bonds exits between the transition metals and the Ligands molecules
