On the basis of crystal field theory, write the electronic configuration for d4 ion if ∆o < P ?
On the basis of crystal field theory, for a d4 ion, if ∆o< P, then the complex is a high spin complex formed by the association of weak field ligands with the metal ion. As a result, the fourth electron enters one of the eg orbitals, thereby, exhibiting the electronic configuration t2g3 eg1.

(b) CrCl3.6H2O (light green, with 2 chloride ion/unit formula)
(c) CrCl3.5H2O (dark green, with 1 chloride ion/unit formula)
Which of the following is a more stable complex and why?
(i) [Co(NH3)6]3+
(ii) [Co(en)3]3+
Draw the structure of the following compounds:
(a) cis-[CrCl2(OX)2]3– (b) [Ni(CN)4]2–
(c) [Fe(CN)6]3– (d) Meridional [CrCl3(NH3)3]+
(e) trans-[PtCl2(en)2]2+.
Write down the IUPAC name of the following complex:
[Cr(NH3)2Cl2(en)]Cl (en = ethylenediamine)
A coordination compound has the formula CoCl3.4NH3. It does not liberate ammonia but forms a precipitate with AgNO3. Write the structure and IUPAC name of the complex compound.
