(choose chapter or problem)

The orbital occupancies for the d orbitals of several complex ions are diagrammed below. A B C D F E (a) Which diagram corresponds to the orbital occupancy of the cobalt ion in [Co(CN)6] 32? (b) If diagram D depicts the orbital occupancy of the cobalt ion in [CoF6] n , what is the value of n? (c) [NiCl4] 22 is paramagnetic and [Ni(CN)4] 22 is diamagnetic. Which diagrams correspond to the orbital occupancies of the nickel ions in these species? (d) Diagram C shows the orbital occupancy of V21 in the octahedral complex VL6. Can you determine whether L is a strong- or weak-field ligand? Explain.
