100

The color of light that a compound that absorbs red light would appear

What is green?

100

The element being reduced in this reaction

2 NaH + O2 ----> 2 NaOH 

What is hydrogen?

100

The number of d-orbitals that are lower in energy (stabilized) in an octahedral crystal field?

What is three?

100
The name for the shape of a complex with 6 ligands spread evenly around the metal.

What is octahedral?

100

The chemical compound used for climbing chalk (and gymnastics chalk).

What is magnesium carbonate (MgCO3)?

200

The intense blue color of Prussian blue comes from the movement of an electron between these orbitals.

What is a d-orbital of Fe2+ surrounded by the C atoms of cyanide and the d-orbital of Fe3+ surrounded by N atoms of cyanide

200
The effect on the reduction potential of the metal when negatively-charged ligands are replaced with neutral ligands (for example, OH- is replaced with H2O).
What is the reduction potential will decrease (become less positive or more negative) so that reduction is less favorable?
200

The Jahn Teller effect would not be relevant to complexes with weak field ligands and these numbers of d-electrons. There are four.

What are d3, d5, d8, and d10?

200

The reduction of this metal would be made less favorable by ligands that prevent the formation of a square planar complex.

What is Cu (Cu2+ to Cu+), Au (Au3+ to Au+) and Rh (Rh3+ to Rh+)? Just name one. Metals where the reduced form is d8 or d9.

200

The number of laps on a standard outdoor track required to run a 3000 m race.

What is 7.5?

300

The color of light absorbed by the pigment raw ochre

What is blue/violet?

300

The term for a substance that caused another element to lose electrons

What is oxidizing agent?

300

The expression for the crystal field stabilization energy for V2+ with 6 water ligands.

What is –6/5 deltao or –1.2 deltao?

300

This complexes with this shape tend be intensely colored to absorb lower energy light.

What is tetrahedral?

300

This mushroom grows in the spring often after wildfires, has lots of holes and is hollow.

What is a morel?

400

This transition metal is commonly blue when the ligands are arranged tetrahedrally?

What is cobalt?

400

The common oxidation states of iron.

What are 0, +2, and +3 (0 is optional)?

400

The complex that would absorb the highest energy light of the following:

[Fe(H2O)6]3+ , [Fe(H2O)6]2+, [Fe(CN)6]3–

What is [Fe(CN)6]3–?

400

The shape of cisplatin or PtCl2(NH3)2.

What is square planar?

400

The term for a climb on a wall that is less than vertical in orientation (leans slightly away from you).

What is slab?

500

The 4 colors of pigments that cobalt can be used to create.

What are blue, violet, green, and yellow?

500

Increasing the oxidation state of a metal cause this to happen to the color of light absorbed by the transition metal complex (if everything else remains unchanged).

What is absorb a higher frequency of light (because the splitting energy is increased)?
500

These numbers of d-electrons would produce the same electron configuration in an octahedral setting regardless of whether the ligands are strong field or weak field. There are 6.

What are d1, d2, d3, d8, d9 and d10?

500

The shape of [CuF6]4–.

What is tetragonal or distorted octahedron?

500

Most mushroom deaths come from consumption of these two mushroom species.
