Expand the list of orbitais considered in Figures 5.2 and 5.3 by using all three p orbitals of atom A and all five d orbitals of atom B. Which of these have the necessary match ofsymmetry for bonding and antibondingorbitals? These combinations are rarely seen in simplemolecules but can be important in
Interpretation: The list of orbitals should be expanded using all three p-orbitals of atom A and all five d-orbitals of atom B and the orbitals should be selected which has necessary match of symmetry for bonding and antibonding orbitals.
Concept Introduction: Three conditions are considered for overlapping which leads to bonding.
- The orbital’s symmetry must be such that regions with the same sign of ψ overlap.
- The energies of atomic orbital must be comparable.
- In order to provide good overlap, the distance between the atoms should be short enough but not so short as the repulsion of other electrons or nuclei occur.

- Write the general electron configuration of a transition ele-ment (a) in Period 5; (b) in Period 6.arrow_forwardWhile d-electrons in many transition metal compounds may not be involved directly in bond formation, they nevertheless exert a considerable influence on structure. Explain.arrow_forward(a).Use condensed electron configurations to write an equation for the formation of eachtransition metal ion, and predict whether it is paramagnetic: Fe3+ (Z=26) , Mn3+ (Z =25) , Cu+(Z=29) (b).According to VSEPR model predict the geometry of BrF5, H2O, NH3, PCl5, XeF4, ClF3, CS2.arrow_forward

- Let’s consider octahedral Sc3+ and Ti3+ complexes. How many d electrons will each have? Sc3+: 0; Ti3+: 0 Sc3+: 0; Ti3+: 1 Sc3+: 1; Ti3+: 0 Sc3+: 1; Ti3+: 1arrow_forwardCFT is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, remember that the lobes of the eg set point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place,but now we have only four ligands located between the axes (as given). None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the eg set (along the Cartesian axes) overlaps with the ligands less than does the t2g set. By analogy with the octahedral case, predict the energy diagram for the d orbitals in a tetrahedral crystal field. To avoid confusion, the octahedral eg set becomes a tetrahedral e set, and the octahedral t2g set becomes a t2 set.arrow_forwardThe two egorbitals are identical in energy in an octahedralcomplex but have different energies in a square planar complex,with the dz2orbital being much lower in energy than the dx2-y2 .Explain with orbital sketches.arrow_forward
