A high-spin octahedral complex with either 9 or this many d electrons will experience strong JahnÂ–Teller distortion.
A high-spin octahedral complex with either 9 or this many d electrons will experience strong JahnÂ–Teller distortion. Boranes with nido ["NYE"-do] geometry have this many more hydrogens than borons in their formula. A geometry with this many ligands will have nearly the same splitting pattern as a linear complex, except the levels will be inverted. A linear triatomic molecule such as carbon dioxide will have this many (*) vibrational degrees of freedom. This is the coordination number of a complex in the point group Td [T-sub-d] as well as the number of bonds in a molecule with see-saw geometry. VSEPR ["vesper"] theory predicts that a molecule with this many bonds and no lone pairs will have bond angles of 109.5 degrees. For 10 points, name this number of bonds in the tetrahedral and square planar geometries.
