Question
The following questions relate to the molecular geometry of the Ni-DMG complex. (Note: these concepts were covered in your General Chemistry course; any general chemistry textbook will be able to help you determine the answers to these questions.)
a. What is the orbital hybridization of the nitrogen atoms in the complex? (0.3)
b. What is the molecular geometry around each nitrogen atom in the complex? (0.3)
c. What can be deduced about the molecular geometry around the nickel atom in the center? (0.4)
d. Based on the molecular geometry around the nickel center, what is the bond angle of N-Ni-N for adjacent N-atoms (NOT for N-atoms across from each other)? (0.2)
PLEASE SHOW WORK, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS...
Explanation / Answer
a) In Ni-DMG complex nitrogens are in SP2 hybridisation.
b) The molecular geometry around each nitrogen atom in the complex is planar geometry
