In coordination chemistry, it is common to use “non-coordinating” anions as counterions for cationic complexes. These anions are essentially inert, and do not interfere in the study of the coordination complexes. A very common example is hexafluorophosphate, PF6–. Why do you think that PF6– is used more often than BF4–? Ignore any solubility concerns.

According to the valence shell electron pair repulsion (vsepr) theory, a molecule that has four electron groups around the central atom will exhibit what electron geometry? view available hint(s) according to the valence shell electron pair repulsion (vsepr) theory, a molecule that has four electron groups around the central atom will exhibit what electron geometry? trigonal bipyramidal tetrahedral square planar determination of electron geometry requires information on whether the electron groups are lone pairs or bonding groups.

Which reason best explains why metals are malleable? a)because they have delocalized electrons b)because they have localized electrons c)because they have ionic bonds d)because they have rigid bonds

What is the indicator of the number of ions in solution? the amount of conductivity the amount of precipitate the amount of solute added
