Fecl so take transition metal orbital and find the oxidation number to know if its paramagnetic or

diamagnetic.

- If theres an empty place in compound and an electron can go to in the orbital which makes
color
- Complex ions containing transition metals are usually coloured, whereas the
similar ions from non-transition metals aren't. That suggests that the partly filled d
orbitals must be involved in generating the colour in some way. Remember that
transition metals are defined as having partly filled d orbitals.
- Because theres no empty spaces for electrons to transfer into orbital d.

- two bonds
- Oxygen can form only two bonds because it requires two electrons to complete its octet
after which it will not have any more vacant orbitals left to accept more electrons and
form more bonds.
