Draw molecular orbital diagram, write complete electronic configuration and calculate bond order for the following complexes: a) [Co(H2O)6]3+

b-[Cr(NH3)6]3+

c-[Ru(bi py)3]2+

they both have a y in them

a

it’s previous models   because when i picked that son of a gun’s answer it was wrong look for previous models because they might make it a different letter  

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
