Question
Tanabe-Sugano diagrams are used to predict absorptions that excite electrons in these orbitals. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name these orbitals which come in sets of 5 and characterize bonding in coordination complexes.
ANSWER: d orbitals
[10m] Each line on a Tanabe-Sugano diagram is denoted with one of these expressions, such as “superscript 1, capital A, subscript 1.” These shorthand expressions describe the various angular momentum quantum numbers of an atom or molecule.
ANSWER: term symbols [accept molecular term symbols or atomic term symbols]
[10h] Within a range of d electron counts, the Tanabe-Sugano diagrams have a vertical line drawn in the middle, separating low-spin and high-spin states. Give the range of d electron counts that produce this splitting.
ANSWER: four through seven [or 4, 5, 6, and 7; accept silly answers given in different orders as long as all 4 of those numbers are there]
