Synthesizing and Investigating Cobalt Complexes: UV-Vis and Structure-Property Relationships

Post-Lab Activity

7. In a single bond, according to valence bond theory, what type of interaction occurs between the metal's d-orbitals and the ligand's orbitals? (Think in terms of orbital overlap)

8. According to valence bond theory, what is another type of interaction between orbitals that results in a bond?
