Coordination compounds in (i) Medicine and (ii) Electroplating. |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Medicine : The complexes are used on a large scale in medicine. Many medicines in the complex FORM are more stable, more efferctive and can be assimiltated easily. For example, platinum complex `[PT(NH_(3))_(2)Cl_(2)]` Known as CISPLATIN by haevy metals like lead. (ii) Electroplating : This involves depoistion of a metal on the other metal. For SMOOTH plating, it is necessary to supply continuously the metal ions in small amounts. For this purpose, a solution of a coordination COMPOUND is used which dissociates to a very less extent. For example for uniform and thin plating of silver and gold, the complexes `K[Ag(CN)_(2)]andK[(Au(CN)_(2)]` are used. |
