Generally, calibrate glassware to five significant figures; the maximum precision is to attain filling or delivering solutions. The net weight of water needs to be five figures. If the glassware exceeds 10ml, it means weighing 1...
Sidgwick, in his theory, used the Lewis concept of the covalent bond between two atoms in a molecule. He introduced a new concept of the coordination bond, also called the dative or semipolar bond. According to him, the ligands...
What are Significant Figures? Significant figures are a reflection of the measurement’s uncertainty. The digits in a measured quantity, including all digits known exactly and one digit whose...
The metal complexes are named based on certain rules. These rules were recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The names thus given to the complexes are called systematic...
ALFRED WERNER Alfred Werner was a Swiss chemist (1866-1919). Though metal complexes were known to chemists even before his...
The bonding between the metal and the ligands and also the properties of complexes are explained by some theories. EARLY...
A polydentate ligand has more than one donor site, some or all of which may be bonded to the metal. For example, the dithiooxalato ligand can bind either through its two oxygen atoms or two sulphur atoms. The mode of binding is...
A ligand is an ion or a molecule capable of functioning as an electron donor and therefore participates in forming a coordinate bond. The ligands are of different...
What is concentration? Concentration is the measurement unit of the amount of solute present in known solution...
Introduction Coordination chemistry is the study of a class of compounds formed by metals. For example, when an excess of...
