THE SHAPES OF COMPLEX METAL IONS - chemguide
WEBSome simple shapes for complex ions. These shapes are for complex ions formed using monodentate ligands - ligands which only form one bond to the central metal ion. You will probably be familiar with working out the shapes of simple compounds using the electron pair repulsion theory.

WEBRevision notes on 6.2.3 Shapes of Complex Ions for the AQA A Level Chemistry syllabus, written by the Chemistry experts at Save My Exams.
Complex Ion - Introduction, Bonding in Complex Ion, Examples …
WEBComplex ion shapes includes octahedral, tetrahedral, and linear complexes. The shape of the complex varies depending on the type of ligand and the coordination number. Octahedral – The most common shape is octahedral.
8.3.2: Geometry of Complex Ions - Chemistry LibreTexts
WEBAug 15, 2020 · This page describes the shapes of some common complex metal ions. It goes on to look at some simple examples of stereoisomerism (geometric and optical) in complex ions
introducing complex ions - ligands and bonding - chemguide
WEBThis page explains the terms complex ion and ligand, and looks at the bonding between the ligands and the central metal ion. It discusses various sorts of ligand (including some quite complicated ones), and describes what is meant by co-ordination number. Complex metal ions containing simple ligands.
What is a Complex Ion? - Chemistry LibreTexts
WEBJun 30, 2023 · A complex ion has a metal ion at its center with a number of other molecules or ions surrounding it. These can be considered to be attached to the central ion by coordinate (dative covalent) bonds (although in some cases, the bonding is actually more complicated than that.)
Complex ions menu - chemguide
WEBAn introduction to the shapes of complex ions (including some simple stereoisomerism). The origin of colour in complex ions . . . A simple explanation of why complex ions formed by transition metals tend to be coloured, and a look at the factors which cause the colours to change during reactions.
Complex Ions: Structure, Formation, and Applications - eu5.org
WEBComplex ions, also known as coordination complexes, are an integral part of inorganic chemistry. These structures consist of a central metal ion or atom surrounded by ligands, which are typically molecules or ions that donate electron pairs to the metal ion.
Shapes of Complex Ions (A2 Only) - Chemistry: AQA A Level
WEBThere are four main geometries for complex ions. Octahedral: commonly seen with small ligands like water and ammonia. Tetrahedral: commonly seen with large ligands like chloride.
Shapes of Complex Ions: Explanation, Tetrahedral & Example - Vaia
WEBWe will learn how coordinate bonds determine the shapes of complex ions. We will explore the different types of ligands in complex ions, and consider the four shapes transition metal complexes can take. We will also discover how octahedral and square planar complex ions show stereoisomerism.
