Mechanism

Follow the mechanism step by step and distinguish what causes the change from what is merely observed.

This extension applies that lens specifically to Coordination Chemistry.

Coordination Chemistry

Metal centres bind ligands to form complexes whose geometry, oxidation state and ligand field affect colour, magnetism and reactivity.

Core checkpoint: Track metal oxidation state separately from overall complex charge.
