Topics and Learning Outcomes

Coordination Chemistry
- work out the oxidation state of a transition metal in a complex
- work out the number of d electrons on a transition metal cation and the number of unpaired electrons
- recognize that the magnetism of transition metal complexes and many of their colours arise from the d electrons
