Which of the following ions can form both low spin and high spin octahedral complexes?

Ni2+, Sc3+, Cu2+, Co3+ Mn4+

I know that the correct answer is Co3+, but could you please explain why this is?

Expert Solution

The metal which has two different non degenerate electron configuration and it should follow Afbau, Hund's and Pauli exclusion principles to fill the electrons, will form both high spin and low spin octahedral complexes.

But for remaining, electronic configurations are same in both high and low spin complexes.

The molecule NO2 can form both positive and negative singly-charged ions. a. Write the Lewis structures for NO2 and the two ions, including any resonance structures. Note that NO2 has an odd number of electrons, which means that we can't follow all the rules in writing a Lewis structure. So write the Lewis structure that follows the rules in the best way possible. b. For each species, explain whether it has a dipole moment. c. Rank the N-O bonds in...
