1. If all of the eg orbitals are filled, can an electron from the t2g level be promoted to the eg level by the absorption of a photon of visible light?
2. Draw the crystal field splitting diagram for octahedral Zn^2+ and Ca^2+ complexes. Predict the color of aqueous solutions of Zn^2+ sals and Ca^2+ salts. Does it matter if the complexes are high-spin or low-spin?
3. For each of these following complexes: Hexaaquacobalt(III), Trioxalatocobaltate(III), Triglycinatocobaltate(III), Tricarbonatocobaltate(III), and Tris(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(III)....
Write out the chemical formula
Identify the coordination number of the metal ion
Identify whether the ligand is monodentate or polydentate
Does the complex form cis-trans isomers?
Does the complex form enantiomers?
4. In each of the complexes mentioned, cobalt has an oxidation state of +3. How many d electrons does Co(III) have?
5. Draw the Crystal Field splitting diagram for the Co(III) complex assuming it is low spin. Is low spin Co(III) paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
6. Draw the Crystal Field splitting diagram for the Co(III) complex assuming it is high spin. Is high spin Co(III) paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
