Coordination Compounds — Class 12 Maharashtra HSC Chemistry revision notes
A 7-page visual revision sheet for Coordination Compounds, written for Class 12 Maharashtra HSC Chemistry. Formulas, diagrams and the traps that cost marks, laid out to be read the night before rather than the term before. Free, and it opens inside CapCompass.
What this Coordination Compounds sheet covers
- What a Coordination Compound Is
- Types of Ligands
- Double Salt versus Coordination Complex
- Terms and Classification
- IUPAC Nomenclature, the Rules in Order
- total electron count around the metal centre
- Effective Atomic Number (EAN) Rule
- EAN equals electrons on the metal ion plus electrons donated by all ligands
- Z: atomic number of the metal. X: electrons lost by the metal to form the ion. Y: electrons donated by the ligands
- Homoleptic/Heteroleptic and Charge-Type, One More Pass
- Geometric Isomers (Diastereomers)
- Optical Isomers (Enantiomers)
- thermodynamic stability of a complex
- Stability Constant
- equilibrium: M^a+ + nL^x- rightleftharpoons [ML_n]^a+-nx
- What Governs Stability
- Valence Bond Theory: the Steps
- Tetrahedral vs Square Planar, Both C.N. 4
- Tetrahedral, e.g. [NiCl4]2-
- Square planar, e.g. [Ni(CN)4]2-
- Limits of VBT
- Crystal Field Theory, Octahedral Field
- Spectrochemical Series and Spin
- Tetrahedral Field and Colour
- Applications
- Traps that cost marks
- Tricks that save time
How CapCompass uses this sheet
These notes are not a standalone PDF. CapCompass plans Chemistry chapter by chapter against your real exam dates and free hours, and when the plan reaches Coordination Compounds the sheet opens inside the study block itself — at the page covering the sub-topic that block is on, with the timer still running. Revision arrives at the moment the plan says revise, instead of having to be gone looking for.
