Transition Metals 1a) The d-orbitals of a free transition metal atom or ion are degenerate (all have the same energy.) However‚ when transition metals form coordination complexes‚ the d-orbitals of the metal interact with the electron cloud of the ligands in such a manner that the d-orbitals become non-degenerate (not all having the same energy.) The way in which the orbitals are split into different energy levels is dependent on the geometry of the complex. Crystal field theory can be used to predict

My transition into college was actually an easy. I thought leaving my mom behind and brother back home would be very difficult for me‚ seeing that I grew up with it just being the three of us. However‚ I was ready for something new and coming to The College of Charleston or college in general was exactly what I needed.
