–
lone pair(s) on O / O 1 allow position of lone pair(s) shown on
O in the diagram even if the diagram is
incorrect.
2+ 2– 2–
2 (c) (i) [Cu(H2O)6] + 2C2O4 → [Cu(C2O4)2(H2O)2] +
4H2O
Product correct 1 Note can only score M3 and M4 if M1
awarded or if complex in equation has
Equation balanced 1 2 waters and 2 ethanedioates
6 1
If this condition is satisfied the complex
Octahedral 1 can have the wrong charge(s) to allow
access to M3 and M4 but not M1
2 (c) (ii) 1 Ignore charges
Diagram must show both
ethanedioates with correct bonding
Ignore water
Allow 180°
90° 1 Mark bond angle independently but
penalise if angle incorrectly labelled /
indicated on diagram
3 (a) A ligand is a species which can donate a pair of 3
electrons to a metal ion.
A co-ordinate bond is a covalent bond in which both
electrons are donated by one atom.
2+ – 2–
3 (b) (i) e.g.[Co(H2O)6] + 4Cl → [CoCl4] + 6H2O 8 One mark is for the two correct
pink blue complex ions and the other for a
balanced equation.
One mark is given for each of the
colours of the complex ions.
2+
3 (b) (ii) e.g. [Co(NH3)6] + 3NH2CH2CH2NH2 One mark is for the two correct
2+
→ [Co(NH2CH2CH2NH2)3] + 6NH3 complex ions and the other for a
balanced equation.
More molecules and/or ions formed.
Increase in entropy because the reaction involves
an increase in the number of molecules and ions.
