Bonding in coordination compounds

Close packing means the arrangement of spheres of a solid crystal to occupy the most amount of available space while leaving the least amount of free space. The close packing relates to a maximum density state. The tighter the close packing in the solid crystal more will be its stability. In AA crystal, the coordination […]

Compounds that have an equivalent formula but different structural arrangements are called isomers. Two or more different compounds having an equivalent formula are called isomers. Two principal sorts of isomerism are known among coordination compounds. Each of which may be further subdivided. Stereoisomers Stereoisomers have equivalent atoms, same sets of bonds, but differ within the

A coordination complex comprises a core atom or ion called the coordination centre, which is usually metallic, and a surrounding array of bonded molecules or ions called ligands or complexing agents. Many metal-containing compounds, particularly those containing transition metals (elements in the d-block of the Periodic Table, such as titanium), are coordination complexes. A dative

Magnesium hydroxide has the chemical formula Mg(OH)2 and is an inorganic compound. It can be found naturally in the form of the mineral brucite.  It appears as a white solid when dissolved in water and has a low solubility (Ksp = 5.611012). Antacids, such as milk of magnesia, contain magnesium hydroxide, which is a common

Ligands in coordination chemistry mean that they are molecules or ions that act as Lewis bases and donate their electron density to the vacant hybrid orbitals of the metal. Strong coordinate covalent bonds are formed with the metal. Ligands can be classified into various types on the basis of their denticity, charge, and field strength.

In coordination chemistry, ligands are molecules or ions that act as Lewis bases and donate their electron density to the vacant hybrid orbitals of the metal. They form coordinate covalent bonds with the metal. Ligands can be classified into various types based on their denticity, charge, and field strength. They are so important that they

There are isomeric coordination compounds that have isomerism only within the ligand groups as the overall isomerism. These are Ligand Isomers. Bis(1,3-diaminopropane)platinum(2+) and bis(1,2-diaminopropane) platinum(2+) are two ions that exhibit isomerism. The development of coordination chemistry required the presence of coordination molecules with the same formula but various ligand configurations. Isomers are two or more

IUPAC stands for the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. The IUPAC is an international body that represents scientists in chemistry and was established in 1919. They are responsible for creating a common language in chemistry so that chemists from across the world can communicate without confusion. The IUPAC is in charge of deciding

What is  Coordination Compound When it comes to coordination compounds, they are defined as any of a class of molecules with chemical structures in which the central metal atom is surrounded on each side by either groups of atoms or nonmetal elements, known as ligands, that are linked to it by chemical bonds. Inorganic coordination
