Question 1

What is the primary concept of Valence Bond Theory?

  • Explains ligand interaction as purely ionic
  • Involves ligands donating lone pairs to orbitals
  • Only focuses on geometry of coordination complexes

💡 Hint: Think of how ligands bond with the metal.

Question 2

In an octahedral field, how are the d-orbitals arranged?

  • All have the same energy
  • Divide into t₂g and eₙ energy levels
  • Remain unaltered

💡 Hint: Consider how the ligands affect the energies of the orbitals.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Explain how the principles of both VBT and CFT can be used to predict the magnetic properties of a specific coordination compound. Use hemoglobin as an example.

💡 Hint: Consider how the shape and electron configuration contribute to its overall behavior.

Question 2

Critically analyze how changes in the ligand field strength affect the stability and color of coordination compounds using examples.

💡 Hint: Think about the ligand's nature and how it dictates electronic behavior in the complex.
