why don't d-orbitals split themselves because of themselves without the presence of ligands? Electrons are indistinguishable. Why wouldn't it be more correct that protons from a ligand split the d-orbitals rather than the lone-pairs cause d-orbital splitting energy?
I always confuse picard-lindelof forints converse. I want additional reading but don't know how to find it.
Moderator Note: Moved from Academic Advising since it is too specific, and too narrow for Science Textbooks.
Case one: ns is half-filled and (n-1)d is less than full.
Is valence 1+number of electrons in (n-1)d or number of electrons in (n-1)d or 1?
Case two: ns is fully filled and (n-1)d is less than full
Is valence 2 or 2+ number of electrons in (n-1)d or number of electrons in (n-1)d?
Case three...
TL;DR Summary: Online Resources request for chemistry quizzes for practice
Are there any other website besides the ones shown in the images that give quizzes for practicing chemistry?
AFAIK, most resources online aren't as minimalistic.
Requesting others like these.
There was a post on stackexchange.com explaining the trend in melting/boiling points of first series transition elements.
