Answer:
The coordination sphere of a complex consists of <u><em>the central metal ion and the ligands bonded to it.</em></u>
Explanation:
The Coordination Compounds are sets of a central metal ion attached to a group of molecules or ions that surround it. They are also called metal complexes or simply complexes. Then they are compounds that have a central atom surrounded by a group of molecules or ions, the latter called ligands.
The central atom must have empty orbitals capable of accepting pairs of electrons, with the transition metals being the ones with the greatest tendency. Because of this, they can act as Lewis acids (electron pair acceptors). The ligands have unshared electron pairs, then acting as Lewis bases (electron pair donors).
When forming a complex, it is said that the ligands coordinate to the metal and the central metal and the ligands attached to it constitute the coordination sphere of the complex.
Finally, <u><em>the coordination sphere of a complex consists of the central metal ion and the ligands bonded to it.</em></u>
Answer:
Sulphur
Explanation:
Sulphur(S) is the Sixteenth element of the periodic table and it has an electronic configuration of 2,8,6. This means it has six electrons in its outermost shell( valence electrons).
Sulphur has sixteen(16) protons which is equal to the atomic number which is also sixteen. Sulphur ends with the letter ‘r’. All the descriptions of the element are satisfied and it validates Sulphur.
There are 0.25 kilometers in 250 meters
Answer:
1. Alkali metals (group 1)
2. halogens (Group 17)
3. noble gasses (group 18)
Explanation:
1. alkali metals only have one valence electron meaning that they really want to lose that one valence electron to get a full octet.
2. halogens have 7 valence electrons meaning that they just need to gain 1 to get a full octet.
3. Nobel gasses already have a full octet meaning that they don't want to react. (atoms only react to get a full octet)
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
