What is Heat of Combustion? At a particular temperature and 1 atm pressure, 1 gm-mole of substance completely burn with O2. From this reaction heat is evolve that heat is…
Define Coordination Isomerism In a bimetallic complex, both complex cation and complex anion may be present. In such a case the distribution of ligands between the two coordination…
What is Ionization Isomerism? Coordination compounds having the same molecular formula but forming different ions in solution are called ionization isomers. This property is known as ionization isomerism. An…
Explain on Hydrate Isomerism or Solvate Isomerism Solvate or hydrate isomerism are the isomers that have similar composition but differ with respect to the number of solvent ligand molecules as well as…
Define Linkage Isomerism Linkage isomerism occurs with ambidentate ligands. These ligands are capable of coordinating in more than one way. The best-known cases involve the monodentate ligands SCN-/NCS-…
What is Ligand Isomerism? Ligand isomerism arises from the presence of ligands which can adopt different isomeric forms. An example is provided by diamino propane, which may have the…
Define Exothermic Reaction and Endothermic Reaction Exothermic reaction: Exothermic reaction is the reaction where heat energy evolves. C (graphite) + O2 → CO2; ∆H298K = – 393.4 Kj mol-1 Endothermic reaction:…
What is Coordination Number? The coordination number of a metal ion in a complex can be defined as the number of ligand donor atoms to which the metal is…
What is Isomerism? Compounds having the same chemical formula but different physical and chemical properties due to the different structural arrangements are called isomers. This phenomenon is known…
IUPAC Nomenclature Mononuclear Rules of Coordination Compounds IUPAC Nomenclature Mononuclear Rules of Coordination Compounds The rules are outlined below In naming the entire complex, the name of the cation is given first…
