Table I compiles typical geometries according to the formal d-orbital electronic configuration of the central metal. Distorted-tetrahedral arrangements, only occur for all <710 systems, whereas for d4, <78, and d9 systems square-planar arrangements occur exclusively. For d5, d6, and d1 systems, square-planar arrangements are most common with some isolated distorted-tetrahedral examples. Under specific conditions, the flat square-planar units can sometimes form strongly joined dimers or trimers (Section III.A.4). In these cases, the coordination geometry about the central atom is best described as square pyramidal.

The second chapter deals with quantum chemical considerations, s, p, d and f orbitals, electronic configurations, Pauli s principle, spin-orbit coupling and levels, energy level diagrams, Hund s mles, Racah parameters, oxidation states, HSAB principle, coordination number, lanthanide contraction, interconfiguration fluctuations. This is followed by a chapter dealing with methods of determination of stability constants, stability constants of complexes, thermodynamic consideration, double-double effect, inclined w plot, applications of stability constant data. 

The Group 8A elements, the noble gases, are characterized by filled s and p valence orbitals (electron configurations of 2s2 for helium and nsznp6 for the others). Because of their completed valence shells, these elements are very un-reactive. In fact, no noble gas compounds were known 50 years ago. Selected properties of the Group 8A elements are summarized in Table 19.12. 

C, 4n) (half-life of approximately 3.8 seconds) and ( C, 3n) [- ] Rf (half-hfe of approximately 3.4 seconds). There are ten known isotopes of mtherfordium, having mass numbers that range from 253 to 262, the isotope with the longest measured half-life being Rf (half-hfe of approximately 1.1 minutes). After its discovery, it was postulated that ruther-fordium, as the first transactinide element, should be a member of a new, fourth transition series, extending from Z=104 to Z=112, and an atom in which the 6d electronic shell is filled. The outer orbital electronic configuration of Rf should be. As such, it should behave similarly to its...
