Hi all,
I'm hoping someone here can help me out...I feel pretty comfortable with molecular geometry, except for when it's a coordination complex. :-/.
Ex: "Within the CA binding site, a zinc atom forms coordinate bonds with three histidine residues, plus a water molecule. What is the molecular geometry around the zinc atom?" Answer: tetrahedral.
How do you figure out how many electrons should be around transition metals? Thanks all!
