NEO 6. (15 points) in the Mond process, pure nickel metal is obtained from the decomposition of nickel tetracarbonyl. Ni(CO). exhibits tetrahedral coordination geometry as shown. a. Determine the ligand field stabilization energy (LFSE) in terms of A and the number of unpaired electrons in Ni(CO) b. Would you expect Ni(CO)to be kinetically inert or labile to ligand exchange? Explain your reasoning. How would you expect the magnitude of A: to change if the Co ligands were replaced with NH3 ligands? Explain your reasoning. O=C- O=O- C.
