and do we need to know the stuff from practicals .. yani the ways toprepare and the colour tests for transition elements ?

okay.. how does a benzene ring get deactivated ? i mean what groups or what ever deactivatesa benzene ring.. can somebody give me examples ?

That is because one the lone pair of electrons from the oxygen atom on the -OH group interacts with delocalised electrons.

Yes, learn the transition metal test- when we add NaOH and NH3 (+in excess).

^ so wat do u think happens wen it is deactivated by -NH2 group in phenylamine

Guys why doesnt NH4+ act as ligands in formation of complexes?

info to help:

when co-ordination no of complex is 2
shape is linear
orbitals to be filled sp

when co-ordination no of complex is 4
shape is either square planar
orbitals to be filled dsp^2
or tetrahedral
orbitals to be filled sp^3

when co-ordination no of complex is 6
shape is either octahedral
orbitals to be filled d^2 sp^3

@Assi1993- NH4+ acts a ligand because it has lone pair of electron present on the Nitrogen atom which forms a covalent bond with the transition metal ion.



noo..why it does NOT form ligandS??

WOW. Sorry read it wrong there.  :-[

Complexes are generally formed by donation of a pair of electrons from the ligand to metal; as NH3 with a lone pair on nitrogen can form complex with copper by donating the pair to metal ion. In case of NH4+ the lone pair is not available, so it will not form the complex.
