Question
What is the buffer capacity of a mixture of a solution that is 5M NH3 and 2M H+?
[Au(CN)4] (Gold(I) cyano complex):
■
Au(I) has the electron configuration (✗e] 4f 145 10.
■ A completely filled d-orbital (d10) usually doesn't allow for
electron excitation, and Au(I) complexes are often colorless.
