The comcept of redistribution of energy in different orbitals of an atom associated with different energies to give new orbitals of equal(or somethimes it may be non-equal) energy oriented in space in definite directions is called hybridization and formed new orbitals are called hybrid orbitals. The bonds formed by such orbitals are called hybrid bonds. The process of mixing of orbitals itself requiressome energy. Thus, some additional energy, is needed for the hybridisation (mixing) of atomic orbitals. Q. Select from each set the molecule or ion having the smallest bond angle : (i) H_(2)Se, H_(2)Te and PH_(3) (ii) NO_(2)^(-) and NH_(2)^(-) (iii) POF_(3) and POCl_(3) (X-P-X angle) (iv) OSF_(2)Cl_(2) and SF_(2)(CH_(3))_(2) (F-S-F angle)

The colour of the complex of d - block elements depends on the nature of the ligands whereas that of f - block elements does not. Give reason.

Answer»

Solution :In the complexes of transition elements, the d - ORBITALS of the central metal ion splits into two sets of `t_(2g)` and `e_(g)` - orbitals in the presence of ligands. The CRYSTAL FIELD splitting, or the d - d transition of electrons is responsible for the colour of the complexes. The extent of splitting depends on the nature of the ligands. Hence, the colour of the complexes formed by the d - block elements, depends on the nature of the ligands. Similarly, the colour of the complexes formed by the f - block elements depends on the f - f transition of the electrons. Since the antipenultimate (n - 2) f - orbitals lie deep within the atom, the VALUE of crystal field splitting of the f - orbitals of the central metal ion does not depend on the nature of the ligands. Hence, the colour of the complexes formed by the d - block elements depend on the nature of ligands whereas those formed by the f - block elements does not.
