Coordination Compounds
Your child will name complex ions and predict their shapes, colours and magnetism. Coordination compounds generally bring about nine marks, often an IUPAC-naming plus isomerism or bonding-theory question. Learners study ligands with coordination numbers, naming rules, isomerism varieties, bonding through Werner, valence-bond and crystal-field theories, and cover magnetic behaviour, colour, stability with uses in analysis, medicines and metallurgy. Three misconceptions persist. Students swap the central charge with ligand charges in formulas. They order ligands against alphabetical rules in nam
