Question 23

Which statement about transition metal complexes is not correct?

A

Transition metal ions act as Lewis acids by accepting electron pairs.

B

A monodentate ligand forms only one coordinate bond to a central metal ion.

C

A coordinate bond is formed when a transition metal ion donates a lone pair of electrons to a ligand.

D

Transition metal complexes are often coloured due to the absorption of light during ddd-ddd electronic transitions.
