1 Answer
We start with a
Explanation:
a. The transition metal ion
b. These
c. The outer sphere ligands are reasonably the nitrate counter ions; as written the nitrates are not coordinated to the metal.
d. The complex is certainly a paramagnet. How do I know this?
e. For a coordination sphere isomer, simply replace one of the octahedrally coordinate ligands (ammine or chloro) with the counter ion, nitrato: i.e.
