Explain the steps involved in the metal-ligand bonding.

Answer»
  • Find the oxidation state of central metal ion in the complex. 
  • Write the valence shell electronic configuration of metal ion. 
  • From the formula of the complex determine the number of ligands and find the number of metal ion orbitais required for bonding. 
  • Find the orbitais of metal ion available for hybridisation and the type of hybridisation involved. 
  • Represent the electronic configuration of metal ion after hybridisation. 
  • Exhibit filling of hybrid orbitais after complex formation. 
  • Determine the nunther of unpaired electrons and predict magnetic property of the complex. 
  • Find whether the complex is low spin or high spin (applicable for octahedral complexes with d4 or d8 electronic configuration)
