What is Valence Bond Theory in Coordination Compounds about?
The document discusses valence bond theory for bonding in coordination compounds. It provides examples of complexes with coordination numbers of 6, 4, and 5 to illustrate the theory. Key points: 1) Valence bond theory assumes hybrid orbitals of the metal ion overlap with ligand orbitals to form coordinate covalent bonds. 2) Complexes can be "inner orbital" or "outer orbital" depending on if inner or outer d-orbitals are used in hybridization. 3) Examples of octahedral ([Cr(NH3)6]3+, [Co(NH3)6]3+, [CoF6]3-)
