Describe Hess’s Law
Hess’s law is known as after Russian Chemist Germain Hess. Hess helped formulate the early standards of thermochemistry. His famous paper, which was published in 1840, included his law. Hess’s law: If the initial and…
What is Ionic Product of Water?
Ionic product of water: The dissociation of water, H2 O+ ↔ H+ + OH– According to law of mass action, K = [H+] x [OH–]…
Why conjugated base of strong acid is weak and conjugated base of weak acid is strong?
The conjugated base of strong acid is weak and the conjugated base of weak acid is strong. It can be explain—clearly by reversible reaction. HB…
How Salt Formed?
A salt is formed by the neutralization of an acid by a base. There are different types of salts. They are:- Simple salt Molecular (or)…
What is Coordination Sphere?
In a complex compound, it usually, central metal ion and the ligands are enclosed within a square bracket is called a coordination sphere. This represents…
Define Metal Chelates
If a ligand is capable of forming more than one bond with the central metal atom (or) ion then the ring structures are produced which…
Describe Types of Ligands
When a ligand is bound to a metal ion through a single donor atom, as with Cl–, H2O or NH3, the ligand is said to…
Define Ligand
A ligand is an ion (or) a molecule capable of functioning as an electron donor. Therefore the neutral molecules or ions which are directly attached…
What is Oxidation State?
