Inorganic 1 Exam 2

Refers to gaining oxygen, losing hydrogen, or losing one or more electrons

Refers to losing oxygen, gaining hydrogen, or gaining one or more electrons

An abbreviation for reduction-oxidation

In a(n) _______, the passage of an electrical current initiates a redox reaction

In a(n) _______, a spontaneous redox reaction occurs and generates an electrical current

Electrical conductor (metal, graphite)

Electrode where oxidation takes place (-) terminal

Electrode where reduction takes place (+) terminal

Electrons flow from anode to the cathode

Conducting ionic solution

Completes electrical circuit by allowing migration of non-reactive ions so that electrolyte neutrality is preserved

Measure of the driving force of the reaction, ability to push electrons through the circuit

Measured cell voltage when aqueous concentration = 1M and gas pressure = 1 atm

Independent of the amount of chemicals, but dependent on their concentration

Reduction potential diagrams show the standard reduction potentials connecting various oxidation states of an element

Oxidation state diagrams plot the relative free energy of a species versus oxidation state.

Shows the predominate form an element will exist under a given set of environmental conditions.

The choice of a reducing agent and the conditions for an extraction can be determined by an ____________

Each group of d-block metals consists of three members and is called a ____

Metals of the second and third rows are sometimes called the ________ metals

Ru, Os, Rh, Ir, Pd, and Pt are collectively known as the _______ metals

A ________ is where a donor and acceptor interact weakly together with some transfer of electronic charge, usually facilitated by the acceptor

This occurs when there is the presence of unpaired electrons and is common in d-block metals

_______ is often accompanied by a change in color.

The occurrence of ______ and the interconversion between them is a characteristic of most d-block metals.

_______ is an approximate method of estimating charge distribution in molecules and complex ions.

The ___________ rationalized the shape of d-block metal complexes [MLn], [MLn]^m+, or [MLn]^m- by considering the repulsions between gropus L.

Cu(I), Ag(I), Au(I), Hg(II) and bulky amido ligands are all examples of _______

Usually trigonal planar in shape and common with amido ligands.

Often tetrahedral and rarely square planar, often associated with [PdCl4]^-2 and [PtCl4]^-2

These are often trigonal bipyramidal and square-based pyramidal and in practice, many structures lie between these two

A majority of these are octahedral and occasionally trigonal prism

Observed frequently for ions of the second and third row d-block metals and for the lanthanides and actinides.

_________ results from the interchange of an anionic ligand within the first coordination sphere with an anion outside the coordination sphere

__________ result from the interchange of H2O and another ligand between the first coordination sphere and the ligands outside it.

__________ are possible only for salts in which both cation and anion are complex ions; the isomers arise from interchange of ligands between the two metal centers.

___________ may arise when one or more of the ligands can coordinate to the metal ion in more than one way. For example in [SCN]- both the N and S atoms are potential donors

__________ denotes complexes which have the same empirical formula but different molecular masses

____________ are found when distinguishing between cis- and trans-isomers or differntiating fac- and mer- isomers

__________ is concerned with chirality
