The metal complex formed would have the following formula [Cr(NO₂)₆]³⁻. The complex has a net negative charge and hence it can only be isolated as a salt with a positive cation so the formed complex could be isolated as potassium salt. The formula for salt would be K₃[Cr(NO₂)₆].

Explanation:

The metal ion given to us is Cr³⁺ (Chromium) in +3 oxidation state.

The electronic configuration for the metal ion is [Ar]3d³ so there are vacant 3d metal orbitals which are available and hence 6 NO₂⁻ ligands can easily attack the metal center and form a metal complex.

The charge on the overall complex can be calculated using the oxidation states of metal and ligand which is provided.

The (chromium ) Cr³⁺ metal has +3 charge and 6 NO₂⁻ (nitro) ligands have -6 charge and since the ligands will be providing a total of 6 - (negative) charge and hence only 3- (negative ) charge can be neutralized so a net 3- negative charge would be present on the overall complex which is basically present at the metal center :

charge on the complex=+3-6=-3

Let X be the Oxidation state of Cr in complex =[Cr(NO₂)₆]³⁻

X-6=-3

X=-3+6

X=+3

so our calculated oxidation state of Cr is +3 which matches with the provided in question.

As we can see that the overall metal complex has a net negative charge and hence and only positively charged cations can form a salt with this metal complex and hence only potassium K⁺ ions can form salt with the metal complex.

since overall charge present on the metal complex is -3 so 3 K⁺ ion would be needed to neutralize it and hence the formula of the metal salt would be K₃[Cr(NO₂)₆].

Answer from: Quest

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

explanation

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the $3d$ have energy higher than those in the $4 s$ orbital while lower than those of the $4 p$ orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the $4s$ orbital is therefore filled right after $3p$ orbitals and before $3 d$ orbitals.

potassium has electron configuration $[\text{ar}] 4 s^{1}$ and calcium $[\text{ar}] 4 s^{2}$ . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration $[\text{ar}] 4 s^{2} \; 3d^{1}$ and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the $ns^{2} \; (n-1) p^{1}$ and should be highlighted as well.

Follow the steps provided in the simulation to add water to the graduated cylinder, select one of the three samples (copper, silver, or gold), set its mass to the values given in the statements below, and calculate its density. here is a summary of the steps required: add water by clicking and holding prepare a known volume of water button. until the desired volume of water has been added. if more than the desired volume is added, click the reset button. button and redo the procedure. a single click will add about 21.0 ml of water. to set the mass, click and hold weigh out metal button. until the desired amount of metal is added to the weighing pan. once the desired mass of the metal is added, release the button. transfer the metal to water and then click on calculate density button. to see how the density is calculated using water displacement to measure the volume of the solid. to save time you can approximate the initial volume of water to â±1 ml and the initial mass of the solid to â±1 g. for example, if you are asked to add 23 ml of water, add between 22 ml and 24 ml. which metals in each of the following sets will have equal density? check all that apply.
