CHEM1109 - Resources for Week 8






Week 7

Topics and learning outcomes

 

  • Oxidation Numbers
    •  assign oxidation numbers to elements in compounds, including transition metals in complexes
    •  identify the oxidant and the reductant in a redox reaction
  • Complexes
    •  define complex, ligand and coordinate bond
    •  recognize that hydrolysis of metal ions in aqueous solutions gives rise to acidic solutions and predict their relative acidity
    •  recognize chelate ligands, their donor atoms and the stability of their complexes
    •  name coordination complexes and compounds using IUPAC nomenclature
    •  identify isomers including structural, geometrical and optical isomerism for tetrahedral, square planar and octahedral complexes
    •  write down the form of the stability constant, Kstab, for a complex
    •  recognize and predict how the formation of stable complexes can increase the apparent solubility of salts by combining Ksp and Kstab expressions
