So, kids, today we are going to discuss the EAN rule, kid, the EAN rule.
Top post on coordination chemistry important
The question arises because we are here.
We figure out the EAN rule right away.
the coordination compound we have
It's a coordination compound. Is the child stable or not? I mean, regarding him
The study of its stability based on electronic configuration is known as the EAN rule.
As per the calculation, you would know every single complex.
Don't all compounds want to be stable?
How would you justify that? He gives it by following the EAN rule, so...
That's the main kid playing by these rules.
that basically tells us
Whether our compound is stable or not
Now, what does this stability mean for the child?
You all know that some of you
noble gas elements are like krypton,
Xenon and radon are present in group 18.
If its atomic
It will become equal to the number
The E&N rule that we will solve
There will be an answer, there will be a value
If he comes up to her level, then you
Understanding it is this
It becomes complex and stable here.
Now, what is it, how to do it, what is its rule, so this kid's funda
He gave a rule: Z minus X plus Y. Now I've said it: Z minus X plus
Y but what is this Z minus X plus Y? Today I'll tell you.
The child who is Z, right, describes the atomic number.
of the elements such as metal, whatever remains, its atomic
If you know the number, put that value there
The second one represents your X, meaning when it is at the coordinate of
It will remain joined; at that time, the element will be part of the metal.
Find out what the oxidation number will be.
It tells you how many electrons there are.
The ligents donate, you have to find out, not me
I understand, let me tell you an example, just a simple one
Here, give the donation, look, we have someone like this, one moment,
A coordination compound is given, okay.
A coordinated compound will go to cobalt anisotropy.
Six times three, and now it's your turn to place it here
But this is the child, what should I tell you to put on, one by one
Whether the count is stable or not, you will apply it yourself and me.
Z minus X plus Y
Yes, sir, I've written it down. What should I do now?
The child should be known to all of you
What is the atomic number of the element cobalt?
Is it 27?
Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium, Chromium, Manganese, Iron, Cobalt
Save consumption means 27, okay, I've written 27, man
What does minus X indicate regarding the charge level on cobalt at this time?
Alright, let me show you how to find it.
Cobalt NS3 6 times is correct
And overcharge is yours plus 3
So you can determine its oxidation state, and also that of the metal.
To find the oxidation state, it is x plus 6 times this 6 times
Yeah, look, the second element has arrived, the second compound has come too, so
Add plus 6 times ammonia, how much is it? If you don't know zero, then
I'll tell you where you can read this, okay?
You cannot write subscribe that on the complement
The charge will come, you'll have to write down DICE PLUS if nothing else
You kept writing, you wrote 0, then it would proceed; basically, here
Three, I said, sir, you wrote zero for ammonia.
Yes, this value has been given to you. Where from? Okay, I'll tell you.
Hmm, where did this value come from? Check it out, you're charging something here.
Remember this, look, as if you were bromine chloride, everyone
Minus means a negative value, like -42, that's correct.
C2O4²⁻ CO3²⁻ These have 2, all others have 1-1, and 0 is for neutral species
ligands are the ones that are called the ammonia molecules you have, the H2O molecules you have, the ones that
Your EN is ethylene diamine, okay, and the carbon monoxide CO that you have
And in CO, there is a difference, right? One is cobalt, the other is carbon.
Look at the spelling of monoxide; look at CO alpha beta
So all these are zeros, and some over here
Minus one exists, and some minus ones exist.
So it's minus one, so I've already told you, just figure it out yourself, SO4,
C2O4 is oxalate and CO3 2 minus one is carbonate.
These are minus one; all the rest are also minus one.
Take it, mines two
And neutral ones, whose are they, write them down
Ammonia, N, ethylenediamine
C O
The spelling of carbon monoxide will remain the same, right? I mean
The alphabet will remain the same for both, and the last H2O is fine, okay, let's go
Sir, I've already found out, yes, it's equal
to 3, then it will become 0, so x equals 3, so here
How much is the value of x going to be? 3 plus
and what does it indicate about the number of electrons donated by ligands to the central metal atom?
Donate and the child will have 6 legits.
And nitrogen has 2 lone pairs of electrons.
So, 6 doubled is 12.
If you don't need to understand this much, just rely on this basis.
Do not write down any number here
Write it by multiplying by 2, for example, 4 will be written here.
So, write 4 doubled, you'll write 8, right, okay,
So I'll write 6 doubled here, that's 12, okay,
Now you calculate the entire thing, it's very simple.
Look, how much will it go? 24, 25, 26, 27,
What is 24 plus 12? It will be 36. Now, the remaining 36 is left.
I think it belongs to Crapton, so the one I saved from the complex,
The coordinate complex that was taken, the remaining one is our noble gas stability.
When the electronic configurations became equal, this became our complex.
What will remain, will stay stable—just say it, sir, this was easy, wasn't it?
You tore it apart completely; take something different, I'll take something...
Alright, so find out this, look at this
How many electrons does the rule accommodate?
It doesn't work like that, it doesn't work like that, root
Minus x plus y, okay, what is the square root of epi?
Atomic number 26, x; now you need to find the value of x.
Let me find out, x plus
Pipe is the same spelling for both carbon monoxide
Like alpha beta same is zero for carbon monoxide
It happens that Quest 2 doesn't charge at all, nothing is given.
How much will Zero Text Eques go? Zero, overall here
But how much did the AF fee come to, kid? Look, 0 plus wide.
Five written, so five times two, how much? Ten, okay, let's go.
How much will it cost if you do this, and 36 okay, this one is also your L'Noble
The gas is occupying the electronic configurations.
Alright, so just check it out—there are many such examples.
Where 35 comes, 33 comes, 26 comes, 22, meaning some of these
No, it shouldn't be like Noble Cases whose atomic numbers are
And Gun 18, Craypton 36, Denon 54, and Radon 86, which one of these?
A match with anyone among those who come here with the number
If you're not doing it, that complex will be the one
Stability will be useless; it won't be stable, correct?
Yes, the children have now understood the rule.
