Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The formula of the complex ion formed by silver
Concept Information:
Complex ions are the ions which are formed by the metal atom at the center and the other nonmetal molecules or ions surrounds it.
Lewis acid-base reaction is the reaction between the lewis acid (loss of pair of electrons) and lewis base (gain of pair of electrons).
Ligands are the molecules or ions that bond with a coordinate covalent bond to form a metal ion.
To write the formula for a complex, following rules are utilized:
The symbol for the metal ion is always given first, followed by the ligands.
When more than one kind of ligand is present, anionic ligands are written first (in alphabetical order), followed by neutral ligands (also in alphabetical order).
The charge on the complex is the algebraic sum of the charge on the metal ion and the charges on the ligands.
The formula is placed inside of the square brackets with the charge of the complex ion as a superscript outside the brackets. When the charge is zero the brackets and charge are omitted.
