Define ligand.

Explain the difference between a weak field ligand and a strong field ligand.

Name one example of a hexadentate ligand.

T/F Carbon monoxide is a weak field ligand.

Ethane-I,2-diamine is a didentate ligand.

Nitrito (barO-N=O) of a ambidentate ligand.

Nitrito (barO-N=O) is a didentate ligand.

Assertion : Linkage isomerism arises in coordination compounds containing ambidentate ligand. Reason : Ambidentate ligand has two different don atoms.

What do you understand by weak field and strong field ligands? With the help of crystal field theory calculate the number of unpaired electrons in octahedral complexes of Fe^(3+) in the presence of weak field ligand.
