Ligands and d orbitals
« on: March 05, 2015, 12:42:09 PM »
Hi,

Upon forming a complex ion, do the electrons of the ligand move into the orbitals of the central metal ion?

How many d electrons would [Fe(Cl)2(en)2]Cl have? And what would be the configuration of Fe in this complex ion?

Thanks in advance.
