Preface
Concise Inorganic Chemistry by J.D. Lee is a book widely used by students preparing for IIT-JEE as the most comprehensive and authentic text for understanding Inorganic Chemistry. The purpose of adaptation of this book is to provide a complete textbook of Inorganic Chemistry that covers the entire syllabus of IITJEE in proper sequence of topics and provides in-depth explanation of topics. The use of book should give confidence to the students to apply their knowledge to problem-solving and attempting IIT-JEE. This adaptation consists of three completely new chapters, i.e., Hydrolysis, Metallurgy and Qualitative Salt Analysis. Along with this, several changes have been made in the topics as per IIT-JEE syllabus. This includes new additions to Coordination Compounds; reorganization and additions in Chemical Bonding; deletion of irrelevant topics from p- and d-block elements; and complete deletion of chapters not required as per syllabus (f-block elements, Atomic Nucleus and Spectra). A new set of exercises have been added at the end of each chapter, comprising all types of questions asked in IIT-JEE, i.e., single correct choice type questions, multiple correct choice type questions, comprehension type questions, assertion reasoning type questions, integer answer type questions and matrix-match type questions. I would like to acknowledge my students for their intellectual doubts and my colleagues for their valuable arguments in various aspects of the subject. This enhanced my understanding of the subject and helped me to teach better. I am especially indebted to my college Belur Ram Krishna Mission, Calcutta University for teaching me How to read and learn chemistry? and Bansal classes where I have got the opportunity to apply my knowledge and teach chemistry. I am thankful to Mr. Ankur Padia who linked me with Wiley India. It is my promise to make this book as only one book for Inorganic Chemistry for students aspiring for IIT-JEE. For the future also, any suggestions for the improvement of this book are welcome by the author. Sudarsan Guha M. Tech. (IIT-Kanpur)

Note to the Student

The IIT-JEE is one of the hardest exams to crack for students, for a very simple reason concepts cannot be learned by rote, they have to be absorbed, and IIT believes in strong concepts. Each question in the IIT-JEE entrance exam is meant to push the analytical ability of the student to its limit. That is why the questions are called brainteasers! Concise Inorganic Chemistry by J.D. Lee has been the definitive text for learning Inorganic Chemistry since its first edition appeared about 45 years ago. The book captures the fundamentals of the subject in a simple and logical framework of factual knowledge. The description is long enough to cover the essentials, yet short enough to be interesting. Its unparalleled approach to teaching Inorganic Chemistry is the reason why it is probably the most favoured resource for an IIT aspirant like you today. In collaboration with expert in IIT-JEE coaching, the fifth edition of the original book has now been adapted to give you the best book available in Inorganic Chemistry for preparing for the toughest engineering entrance exam in India. This adaptation offers the dual advantage of unmatched explanation of concepts as developed by Master teacher and appropriate applications of the concepts to problem solving as developed by an expert in this area. Lets walk through some of the special book features that will help you in your efforts to take the IIT-JEE with confidence.

A.

STRUCTURE OF THE BOOK

The original book has been reorganized in a manner to provide more structured approach as per the IIT-JEE syllabus requirement. The progression is from basic concepts such as Atomic Structure, General Properties of Elements and Chemical Bonding to practical aspects of Metallurgy and Qualitative Salt Analysis. This is followed by description on Hydrogen and its compounds and some compounds and properties of s-, p- , d-block elements.

Concepts are explained in a manner easy to read and understand. They are descriptive to the extent required and provide reasons for the structure, properties and reactions of compounds. Many fascinating applications of inorganic compounds are also explained.

Ligands which cause only a small degree of crystal field splitting are termed weak field ligands. Ligands which cause a large splitting are called strong field ligands. Most values are in the range 7 ,000 cm-1 to 30,000 cm-1. The common ligands can be arranged in ascending order of crystal field splitting . The order remains practically constant for different metals, and this series is called the spectrochemical series. Spectrochemical series weak field ligands

< EDTA < (NH3 and pyridine) < ethylenediamine < dipyridyl
< o-phenanthroline < NO2 < CN < CO

strong field ligands The spectrochemical series is an experimentally determined series. It is difficult to explain the order as it incorporates both the effects of s and p bonding. The halides are in the order expected from electrostatic effects. In other cases we must consider covalent bonding to explain the order. A pattern of increasing s donation is followed: halide donors < O donors < N donors < C donors The crystal field splitting produced by the strong field CN ligand is about double that for weak field ligands like the halide ions. This is attributed to p bonding in which the metal donates electrons from a filled t2g

5.13 | TETRAHEDRAL COMPLEXES

A regular tetrahedron is related to a cube. One atom is at the centre of the cube, and four of the eight corners of the cube are occupied by ligands as shown in Figure 5.19. The directions x, y and z point to the centres of the faces of the cube. The eg orbitals point along x, y and z (that is to the centres of the faces). The t2g orbitals point between x, y and z (that is towards the centres of the edges of the cube) (Figure 5.20).

ASSESSMENT AS PER IIT-JEE PATTERN

In 1927, Sidgwick suggested that electron pairs from ligands were added to the central metal atom until the central atom was surrounded by the same number of electrons as the next noble gas. The stability of the resulting state can be explained on the basis of the molecular orbital theory. However, this rule fails in 2011-05-17 4:35:38 PM many cases and works best for metals in low oxidation state.

Application of concepts to problem solving is the core of IIT-JEE, so it is imporLee_Chapter 05.indd 9 tant to test our understanding of concepts. For the test to be effective, the assessment technique should be comprehensive and in the context of this book, also in resonance with the IIT-JEE paper pattern. Each part of the assessment should be modeled on the actual IIT-JEE paper pattern because unless the student practices the IIT-JEE way, he/she will not be sufficiently equipped to take the exam. Keeping this in mind the assessment has been divided into:

There is plainly a diagonal similarity between beryllium in Group 2 and aluminium in Group 3. Just as was the case with lithium and magnesium, the similarity in atomic and ionic sizes is the main factor underlying this relationship.

USe of SI UNITS

SI units for energy are used throughout this edition, thus making a comparison of thermodynamic properties easier. Ionization energies are quoted in kJ mol1, rather than ionization potentials in eV. Older data from other sources use eV and may be converted into SI units (1 kcal = 4.184 kJ, and 1 eV = 23.06 4.184 kJ mol1). Meters are strictly the SI units for distance, and bond lengths are sometimes quoted in nanometers (1 mm = 109 m). However ngstrm units (1010 m) are a permitted unit of length, and are widely used by crystallographers because they give a convenient range of numbers for bond lengths. Most bonds are between 1 and 2 (0.1 to 0.2 nm). ngstrm units are used throughout for bond lengths. The positions of absorption peaks in spectra are quoted in wave numbers cm1, because instruments are calibrated in these units. It must be remembered that these are not SI units, and should be multiplied by 100 to give SI units of m1, or multiplied by 11.96 to give J mol1. The SI units of density are kg m3, making the density of water 1000 kg m3. This convention is not widely accepted, so the older units of g cm3 are retained so water has a density of 1 g cm3. In the section on magnetism both SI units and Debye units are given, and the relation between the two is explained. For inorganic chemists who simply want to find the number of unpaired electron spins in a transition metal ion, Debye units are much more convenient.

NOMENCLATURE FoLLoWed IN THE PERIODIC TABLE

For a long time chemists have arranged the elements in groups within the periodic table in order to relate the electronic structures of the elements to their properties, and to simplify learning. There have been several methods of naming the groups. A number of well known books name the main groups and the transition elements as A and B subgroups, which dates back to the older Mendeleef periodic table of more than half a century ago. Its disadvantages are that it may overemphasize slight similarities between the A and B subgroups, and there are a large number of elements in Group VIII. In earlier versions of this book the s-block and the p-block were numbered as groups I to VII and 0, depending on the number of electrons in the outer shell of the atoms, and the transition elements were dealt with as triads of elements and named as the top element in each group of three. The IUPAC has recommended that the main groups and the transition metals should be numbered from 1 to 18. This system has gained acceptance, and has now been adopted throughout this book.
