What is the meaning of them term co-ordination number?
Number of atoms bonded to a metal ion.

Why don't Cl- ions form octahedral shapes with metal ions?
Cl- ions are too big
3 of 15
What are the uses of Ligands?
Pt complex forms cis-platin; [Ag(NH3)2]+ forms tallness reagent; Fe(II) forms haemoglobin

What is the meaning of them term 'heterogenous catalyst'?
Catalyst in a different phase to reactants
5 of 15
How can a catalyst be made more effective?
Increase S.A; Spread catalyst to an inert support medium
6 of 15
How does poisoning reduce the effectiveness of catalysts?
Poison adsorbed onto active sites of catalyst; Poison is not desorbed; Can no longer bind to reactants

How does Mn2+ act as a catalyst in the oxidation of ethanedioic acid?
Mn2+ is formed and reacts with MnO4- and then forms the intermediate M3+ which reacts with CzO4- and reforms Mn2+
