Transition metals: Coordination and Geometry of complexes
Across
- 5. a ligand that donates only one pair of electrons for bonding
- 7. the geometry adopted when 2 ligands are positioned at 180deg around the cation
- 8. the geometry that can be adopted when there are 4 monodentate ligands
- 9. the type of bonding that occurs in a transition metal complex
Down
- 1. an arrangement in which the ligands are at 90deg to each other around the cation
- 2. Describes how many dative bonds a ligand can form
- 3. the geometry adopted when there are 6 monodentate or 3 bidendate ligands
- 4. a ligand that donates more than one pair of electrons for bonding
- 6. Atom, ion or molecule that donates a pair of electrons to a central metal ion
