GENERAL CHEMISTRY
Chapter 25 -- Key Concepts
- Identify transition metal complexes (TMC).
- Identify various types of TMC isomers.
- Identify enantiomeric pairs of structures.
- Draw the energy level diagrams for the d orbitals in octahedral or
tetrahedral complexes.
- Relate the size of the ligand field splitting to the wavelength of
light absorbed by a d electron excitation.
- Distinguish likely colors for TMCs based on the classification of
a ligand as strong or weak field.
- Predict the electron configuration for low and high spin complexes.
- Predict the magnetic properties of TMCs.
