Transition Elements and Coordination Chemistry Basics - Numerical Applications

Download Q&A

The Numerical Applications section focuses on quantitative problem-solving related to transition elements and basic coordination chemistry, integrating electronic configuration, magnetic properties, stoichiometry, and stability concepts. This module is designed for Class 11–12 students, undergraduate learners, and competitive exam aspirants, where numerical accuracy and conceptual clarity are essential.

In this section, you will practice numericals involving:

  • Spin-only magnetic moment calculations using the formula
    μ=n(n+2)\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)} BM

  • Determination of number of unpaired electrons from given data

  • Oxidation state calculations in coordination compounds

  • Coordination number and ligand count calculations

  • Stoichiometric calculations involving complex formation reactions

  • Percentage composition and molecular mass of coordination compounds

  • Electron count and d-electron configuration numericals

  • Comparative CFSE-based reasoning (qualitative–quantitative mix)

  • Isomer count calculations (introductory level)

  • Exam-pattern numericals aligned with NEET, JEE, CUET-UG, and UG assessments

The content is structured to build calculation speed, improve numerical confidence, and ensure error-free handling of formula-based questions under exam conditions.
