Ethylenediamine is a bidentate ligand that can form stable chelate complexes with transition metals.

The complex [Cu(NH3)4]2+ contains a transition metal with d-electrons that can be excited, resulting in color.

The complex [CoCl2(NH3)4] can exhibit geometric isomerism due to the presence of two different types of ligands.

Rubidium has the largest atomic radius due to its position in Group 1 and being the lowest in the group.

Ionization energy decreases down a group; rubidium has the smallest ionization energy among these.

Ammonia (NH3) is a common ligand that can donate a pair of electrons to a metal center.

Magnesium commonly forms a +2 oxidation state by losing two electrons.

Copper is a transition metal and can form complex ions due to its ability to coordinate with ligands.

Water is a common ligand that can form coordination compounds with transition metals.

Cobalt commonly forms coordination compounds with a coordination number of 6 due to its ability to accommodate six ligands.

Boron hydride (B2H6) can accept electron pairs, making it a Lewis acid.

H2S can donate electrons and thus acts as a reducing agent.

Ammonia, produced from hydrogen and nitrogen, is a key ingredient in the manufacture of fertilizers.

A coordination compound has a central metal atom bonded to one or more ligands.

A good reducing agent should have low ionization energy, allowing it to easily donate electrons.

A good reducing agent has a low oxidation potential, allowing it to easily donate electrons.

A Lewis acid is defined as an electron pair acceptor.

Strong bases, like NaOH, have a high pH and completely dissociate in water, leading to high conductivity.

Weak acids have a high pKa value, indicating they do not completely dissociate in solution.

Coordination compounds consist of a central metal atom bonded to one or more ligands.

Hydrogen can form cations (H+) in chemical reactions, which is a characteristic of metals.

Hydrogen can act as a reducing agent by reducing metal oxides to their corresponding metals.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can act as a reducing agent due to its ability to donate electrons.

Metals are typically good conductors of heat and electricity due to the presence of free-moving electrons.

Coordination compounds are commonly used in chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, which is used to treat various cancers.

Hydrochloric acid is commonly used for cleaning metal surfaces due to its ability to remove rust and scale.

Hydrogen is commonly used in fuel cells to produce electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen.

Hydrogen is used in the hydrogenation process to convert unsaturated fats into saturated fats in the petroleum industry.

Sodium bicarbonate is commonly used as an antacid to relieve heartburn and indigestion by neutralizing stomach acid.

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is used in baking, cleaning, and as a fire extinguishing agent due to its ability to release carbon dioxide.
