This week I've decided to continue on with my Jones family line and do a post on my 3rd great grandmother, Mary H Mitchel Jones.
I remember the first time I ever came across her name was on the death certificate for her son, my 2nd great grandfather, Alexander Hamilton Jones. What a great moment to have at last a name. I wanted her to grow and become so much more to me, so I continued digging.
Source Information: Ancestry.com. North Carolina, Death Certificates, 1909-1975 [database on-line].
I have often wondered if this entry from the North Carolina County Marriage Index is for my 3rd great grandparents.
Source Information: Ancestry.com. North Carolina, Marriage Collection, 1741-2004 [database on-line].
I've wondered if the middle initial "H" was for Hawkins. Perhaps this record was for another couple altogether.
Mary and Cesar Jones became property owners before 1900, a fact of which I am quite proud of. I learned of this when I reviewed Mary's will. Upon their deaths, my 3rd great grandparents were able to pass down a house and a lot, as well as 9 shares of Shepard's Point Land Company stock to their kids. You can read about the details of her will on my post Amanuensis Monday: The Will Of Mary Mitchel Jones.
Here's an example of a Shepard's Point Land Company Stock Certificate.

Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) is a relatively inexpensive intravenous, oral, and topical fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat a myriad of conditions ranging from complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) and infectious diarrhea to intraabdominal infections and even the plague and inhalational anthrax post-exposure.
This class of bactericidal medications works by inhibiting DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Generally, fluoroquinolones also have excellent oral bioavailability but must be administered cautiously in patients receiving cations (ie, oral calcium or magnesium repletion) as these can reduce drug absorption.
Contraindications include hypersensitivity/allergies to fluoroquinolones or if a patient is already taking the muscle relaxant tizanidine (concentrations are significantly increased with ciprofloxacin). Additionally, ciprofloxacin has black box warnings outlining muscle weakness exacerbations that can be induced in patients with preexisting myasthenia gravis, peripheral neuropathy, and tendon rupture (most commonly the Achilles).
As an intensivist, I most commonly write ciprofloxacin for complicated genitourinary infections, but among the fluoroquinolones, I tend to use it less frequently overall than levofloxacin. With that said, practicing good antibiotic stewardship is a priority! If the site of interest can achieve a tissue concentration to treat a clinical infection that is susceptible to ciprofloxacin, then I’ll certainly use it! With quinolone resistance on the rise, providing the narrowest spectrum antibiotic for the shortest course is important.

When a tractor doesn’t start, troubleshooting should begin with an examination of the Kubota safety switches. Owners sometimes report intermittent starting issues that are traced back to one of the switches.
Although a Kubota safety switch is an integral part of the tractor’s design, it is suddenly an issue when it prevents a tractor from operating. Every manufacturer faces the dilemma of how to keep riders safe while not inconveniencing them with excessive switch activations.
An efficient diagnosis of the problem saves time and helps get your machine back to being productive.
Learn more about Kubota tractor safety switch locations from your authorized Kubota dealer in Houston, Bobby Ford Tractor & Equipment.
On most Kubota tractors, making an adjustment or replacing a defective safety switch is quite manageable.
When a tractor doesn’t start because of unwanted switch activation, it may be necessary to eliminate each switch as the possible culprit systematically. Sometimes the switch and its wiring are okay. On several Kubota tractors, merely adjusting seat tension will minimize unwanted switch activations.
Here are a few examples of Kubota safety switch issues that could be slowing you down.
There are multiple switches on the Kubota B7800, including seat, PTO, rocker pedal and transmission switches. If a single safety switch is not in neutral, the tractor will not start.
Sometimes, a switch is very close to moving in and out of neutral – so much so that you will experience intermittent starts. To identify which switch is the problem, clean them by blowing them out with compressed air. First, jump the seat switch to remove it from the circuit, then proceed through a process of elimination.
Locations of safety switches vary from model to model. For example, on the Kubota B7800, the clutch safety switch is under the left floorboard. A tab of the clutch pedal operates it.
The most prominent safety switch on many Kubota tractors is located right under the seat. To troubleshoot Kubota safety switch issues, it is often necessary to check both the switches and the wiring.
For example, on an L3940, two wires run from the seat frame to the exposed switch. Also, another set of wires run into the seat bottom.
On an L3200 HST, one owner with a starting issue rocked the foot pedal back and forth. When it would just not start, he used an ohm meter to confirm the safety switch on the clutch was functional. He then went on to troubleshoot other safety switches on the tractor.
With this and other models, you want to confirm that the interlock switches for the PTO, seat and cruise control are all cleaned, adjusted and operational.
Sometimes, sensitivity issues require adjustments to improve switch engagement. For example, on a BX2360, the sensitivity of the safety switch on the PTO lever is addressed by bending the tab for better contact.
On sidehill jobs, it is essential to use the seatbelt to avoid lifting from the seat long enough to activate the safety switch.
Finally, there have been reports of other brands switching off when a relatively light individual hits a big bump that momentarily lifts the rider off the seat. However, lighter-weight Kubota operators have weighed in on this issue (pardon the pun) without reporting unwanted switch-off problems.
If you suspect you have a safety switch problem, or your Kubota tractor will not start for any reason, the Kubota tractor mechanics at Bobby Ford Tractor and Equipment can help.

Thursday, Dec. 22, 2005 dawned cold and clear as I headed up to the Pecos River high bridge launch site for my paddle to Seminole Canyon and Seminole Cave. I had been planning this for a long time and was really looking forward to seeing the caves again. I launched at 9:02 and headed down the Pecos to the confluence of the Rio Grande, then headed left down the river. Amistad Lake has backed up both rivers so there isnt any flow, just flat water and high canyon walls. I had the river to myself this morning except for some goats high up the canyon wall in a cave and a pair of hawks circling above. The river was calm and clear until I turned the corner and entered the Rio Grande. Here the wind picked up a little and made the first couple of miles pretty chilly as I was in the shade from the high cliffs on the Texas side. However, by 10:30 I was able to shuck the fleece and enjoy the sunshine and warmth.
Several miles downriver I was surprised to see a large power line going across into Mexico, but soon saw there were several large houses there. Around the bend I saw a couple of houses on the Texas side. I remember a Mexican rancher tried for years in the 70s to get a line run from the US side, and I guess he finally did. I dont know who owns the houses, but they would make a nice place to stay as they are on a small side canyon.
The Texas side of the river is prettier with its many caves and erosion features. The Mexican side is shorter and has no caves at all-both sides are the same rock, so I dont know why. The caves arent caused by river erosion as they are too high above the old river bed-the Mexican side being lower would mean the river would have had to be several miles wide to carve the caves that high up. You can see evidence in many of them of water seeping out leaving stains so I imagine this is how they were formed. Its amazing how much a little seepage can erode the soft limestone pockets (there isnt enough rain to help speed the process)-many of these caves are as big as houses. There are a few that can be accessed by boat and will be explored on another trip. The cliffs are so steep and the original river so far below that few have been inhabited or used as rock shelters. They would still be interesting to explore and take photos from.
About a mile down from the confluence of the rivers is Parida Cave on the Texas side. There is a boat dock there and you can access the small kayak landing on the left of the big rock on the left of the ramp. As I had explored this on a previous trip, I didnt even stop. There is a wonderful canyon on the Mexican side of the river that is well worth exploring for its beautiful high walls and incredible erosion features-many look like works of art.
There are a couple of canyons on the Mexican side that will require further exploration and two short ones on the Texas side that I did explore and found some interesting caves in them. One would make a great hike out of the canyon and offer a wonderful view of the river. The cave, Pink Cave, would be fun to explore and supposedly has some paintings in it. Since it doesnt have a landing and the water was cold, I didnt get out of the boat to explore it this time. In warmer weather this would be easy to do. Many of the caves that are accessible and would be fun to explore require getting out of the boat and getting wet up to your waist as you scramble up the rock piles.
Seminole Cave is one of the best examples of cave art in the US as it is in a large under hang and the dry weather has protected them for thousands of years. There are dozens of paintings along the wall with the Panther being the most famous. The park service has a nice boat dock here as this is the only way to access the paintings-there is no trail to the cave. The cave is fenced off to protect from vandalism, but the mesh is large enough to take photos through and there are several signs explaining the paintings and some history. I remember growing up in Del Rio we used to go up and touch the paintings - this was way before we knew we werent supposed to! It is difficult but not impossible for a kayak to land here. There are two places on either side of the dock where you could get out into the water and then climb up the rock. Since it was still cold and didnt want to get wet, I got under the docks ramp and used it to pull myself up out of my boat onto the steps that go down into the water. That wasnt a pretty site and Im glad no one else was there at the time! Getting back in was a lot easier.
After eating lunch, I headed up Seminole Canyon to see if there are any places to camp and found a great place where the water ends. It gets real shallow at a wide flat spot and there is plenty of camping room as well as the canyon to explore. If one could camp here, this trip would be an easy overnighter and allow plenty of time to explore the canyons on the Mexican. As it is, it is a long day trip-it took me 11 minutes shy of 7 hours to complete the 19 mile round trip with a hour stop for lunch at Seminole Cave. I averaged 3.9 mph and was feeling the fast pace by the end of the day. Exploring the side canyons and some of the caves would add a couple more hours to the trip, so spending the night in Seminole Canyon would really make the trip more pleasurable.
This is a wonderful and beautiful trip and well worth the effort because of the scenery and the cave paintings. There is plenty of parking at the put-in along with a potty. Theres an incredible view at the put-in of the high bridge and the high canyons. There isnt a potty at Seminole Cave however there are some places to get out of the kayak and answer the call. I will be doing this trip again Memorial Weekend and hope to explore the side canyons.
no, unless you are fishihng. The Mexican game wardens are getting strict about fishing w/o a Mexican fishing license.

several miles downriver i was surprised to see a large power line going across into mexico, but soon saw there were several large houses there. around the bend i saw a couple of houses on the texas side. i remember a mexican rancher tried for years in the 70s to get a line run from the us side, and i guess he finally did. i dont know who owns the houses, but they would make a nice place to stay as they are on a small side canyon.
the texas side of the river is prettier with its many caves and erosion features. the mexican side is shorter and has no caves at all-both sides are the same rock, so i dont know why. the caves arent caused by river erosion as they are too high above the old river bed-the mexican side being lower would mean the river would have had to be several miles wide to carve the caves that high up. you can see evidence in many of them of water seeping out leaving stains so i imagine this is how they were formed. its amazing how much a little seepage can erode the soft limestone pockets (there isnt enough rain to help speed the process)-many of these caves are as big as houses. there are a few that can be accessed by boat and will be explored on another trip. the cliffs are so steep and the original river so far below that few have been inhabited or used as rock shelters. they would still be interesting to explore and take photos from.
about a mile down from the confluence of the rivers is parida cave on the texas side. there is a boat dock there and you can access the small kayak landing on the left of the big rock on the left of the ramp. as i had explored this on a previous trip, i didnt even stop. there is a wonderful canyon on the mexican side of the river that is well worth exploring for its beautiful high walls and incredible erosion features-many look like works of art.
there are a couple of canyons on the mexican side that will require further exploration and two short ones on the texas side that i did explore and found some interesting caves in them. one would make a great hike out of the canyon and offer a wonderful view of the river. the cave, pink cave, would be fun to explore and supposedly has some paintings in it. since it doesnt have a landing and the water was cold, i didnt get out of the boat to explore it this time. in warmer weather this would be easy to do. many of the caves that are accessible and would be fun to explore require getting out of the boat and getting wet up to your waist as you scramble up the rock piles.
seminole cave is one of the best examples of cave art in the us as it is in a large under hang and the dry weather has protected them for thousands of years. there are dozens of paintings along the wall with the panther being the most famous. the park service has a nice boat dock here as this is the only way to access the paintings-there is no trail to the cave. the cave is fenced off to protect from vandalism, but the mesh is large enough to take photos through and there are several signs explaining the paintings and some history. i remember growing up in del rio we used to go up and touch the paintings - this was way before we knew we werent supposed to! it is difficult but not impossible for a kayak to land here. there are two places on either side of the dock where you could get out into the water and then climb up the rock. since it was still cold and didnt want to get wet, i got under the docks ramp and used it to pull myself up out of my boat onto the steps that go down into the water. that wasnt a pretty site and im glad no one else was there at the time! getting back in was a lot easier.
after eating lunch, i headed up seminole canyon to see if there are any places to camp and found a great place where the water ends. it gets real shallow at a wide flat spot and there is plenty of camping room as well as the canyon to explore. if one could camp here, this trip would be an easy overnighter and allow plenty of time to explore the canyons on the mexican. as it is, it is a long day trip-it took me 11 minutes shy of 7 hours to complete the 19 mile round trip with a hour stop for lunch at seminole cave. i averaged 3.9 mph and was feeling the fast pace by the end of the day. exploring the side canyons and some of the caves would add a couple more hours to the trip, so spending the night in seminole canyon would really make the trip more pleasurable.
this is a wonderful and beautiful trip and well worth the effort because of the scenery and the cave paintings. there is plenty of parking at the put-in along with a potty. theres an incredible view at the put-in of the high bridge and the high canyons. there isnt a potty at seminole cave however there are some places to get out of the kayak and answer the call. i will be doing this trip again memorial weekend and hope to explore the side canyons.
no, unless you are fishihng. the mexican game wardens are getting strict about fishing w/o a mexican fishing license.

I’m going on a month and a half of no sugar. It’s forced me to be more inventive in the kitchen. I’ve always loved to cook but now that I can taste food better, i‘m really into experimenting with flavors. This recipe resulted from me prepping tons of spaghetti squash one Sunday and I didn’t know what to do with it all! It’s so easy and so delicious. If you make it please let me know what you thought! Enjoy!
I had already meal prepped my spaghetti squash but just in case you’re making it as you go I’ll give you my tried and true recipe for baking it in the oven. Step 1: cut your spaghetti squash in half (not lengthwise). I know a lot of people do lengthwise but I personally think it makes for a longer “noodle” when it’s halved horizontally. Step 2: hallow out the inside and rid of the “guts”. Step 3. Add a little grape seed or avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Step 3: did you notice I didn’t say preheat oven? Yeah, I don’t. Place your pan of halved squash in the oven and set it to 460 degrees for 40 minutes. *if the squash is overly large you may need longer* That’s it! It comes out so tender and with a delicious naturally carmelized flavor.
Scramble eggs in coconut oil. I like to slow cook mine on low-medium so they turn out nice and fluffy! Salt and pepper to tast!
While your eggs are cooking, combine a tablespoon of avocado oil with diced white onions and your chicken sausage (sliced into coins). Cook to your liking. I like mine a tiny bit blackened. I add salt, pepper, and garlic and herb seasoning to taste.
Add some of your favorite hot sauce for a kick! My favorite right now is anything Siete makes or good ol cholula!
You all really loved our Halloween Faves post so we’re back to share our Thanksgiving and Autumn inspired faves! We read a book to Ever every single night along with her daily devotional so we keep the bookshelves in her freshly stocked with relevant books. The thought behind that is so that we can educate her on the current and upcoming holiday or event. I also like to pull books from her library that coordinate with the colors and overall vibe of the collection. These will be up until the day after Thanksgiving. Do you have any favorites that we’re missing? Comment below so we can grow our collection too!
Bad weather is on the way and the autumn stores are still not gathered in! Quickly, all the mice of Brambly Hedge set to work to finish the harvesting before the rain begins. Primrose, Lord Woodmouse's daughter, meant to help, but somehow she daydreamed her way over the cornfield and into the Chestnut Woods, and before she knew it, she was lost. The sun went down, the wind rose and it began to rain. Primrose was all alone in the dark and she was frightened. Poor Primrose, would she find her way home again?

Every year around this time, some special happens in the forest. When the leaves begin to change color, the animals come together to celebrate. Join in on the fun and find out what happens on this very special time of year.
Lauren Stringer celebrates the coming of autumn in this exuberant, joyful ode to that magical time when the leaves are changing color and the animals are preparing for winter. Children and animals alike excitedly anticipate yellow time, when the trees release their colorful leaves to blanket the earth, crows raise their voices joyfully from the bare branches, and squirrels busy themselves preparing their nests for winter. This lyrical celebration of the beauty and fun of autumn is sure to become a perennial fall favorite.
As trees sway in the cool breeze, blue jays head south, and leaves change their colors, everyone knows--autumn is on its way! Join a young girl as she takes a walk through forest and town, greeting all the signs of the coming season. In a series of conversations with every flower and creature and gust of wind, she says good-bye to summer and welcomes autumn.

Step 1: Mix 2 ounces of vodka with 1 1/2 tablespoons (or 3/4 ounces) of fresh lemon juice. Shake shake shake!
Halloween is dare I say my favorite holiday to decorate for. It allows for such whimsical decor and the color palette possibilities are endless.
I typically decorate with things I paint myself and this year Ever got to paint too! I try and aim for making Halloween more cute than spooky. And I like to use things Ever likes so she thinks I’m a cool mom.
I’ve linked and listed as many sources as I could find!
Pillows Homegoods finds and man was that a good day! Haha!
Happy Halloween from the Hummels!
The first time we did a reading list of our favorite books was for Father's Day. It was so much fun and so well received that I thought we would do it year round for every season and holiday! Around here books become part of the decor. Halloween is a favorite in our house and the books are no exception. We've rounded up our favorites (obviously Coco and Minnie Mouse made the cut) and are excited to share with you! Enjoy!
A warm-hearted best seller. Gilbert goes to ghost school like all the other ghosts, but he's a special ghost: he doesn't like to screech in a scary way, he doesn't want to haunt and was always polite. What will happen to Gilbert when he's sent by the principal of school to the Abandoned Tower?
Oh, to be a ballerina! It's a challenge for any little girl, but even more so if you happen to be a vampire like Vampirina. First of all, you have to find a class that meets at night. Then you have to figure out how to perfect your form when you can't see yourself in the mirror? And then there's wearing pink (not the most flattering of colors if you happen to be undead) and that nagging urge to take a little nip out of the other dancers. And worse of all… STAGE FRIGHT!!!
What do you do when you meet a ghost? One: Provide the ghost with some of its favorite snacks, like mud tarts and earwax truffles. Two: Tell your ghost bedtime stories (ghosts love to be read to). Three: Make sure no one mistakes your ghost for whipped cream or a marshmallow when you aren't looking! If you follow these few simple steps and the rest of the essential tips in How to Make Friends with a Ghost, you'll see how a ghost friend will lovingly grow up and grow old with you. A whimsical story about ghost care, Rebecca Green's debut picture book is a perfect combination of offbeat humor, quirky and sweet illustrations, and the timeless theme of friendship.
Bonaparte is having a tough time. It’s hard for this young skeleton to just hang loose when he can’t keep hold of himself. When he plays catch, his throwing arm literally takes a flyer. Eating lunch can be a real jaw-dropping occasion. How can he start school when he has so many screws loose? Luckily, Bonaparte hit the bone-anza when it came to his friends. Franky Stein, Black Widow, and Mummicula all have some boneheaded ideas to help pull him together. But will it be enough to boost his confidence and get him ready for the first day of school?
With these words, Chiro's mother sends him off into the night for the first time alone. It's an adventure, but how will he find his way? And how will he find his way home? As the young bat discovers, navigating the world around him is easy as long as he uses his good sense. This beautiful and touching coming-of-age story, with mesmerizing artwork from New York Times bestselling illustrator Loren Long and lyrical text from Ari Berk, conveys a heartwarming and universal message: No matter how far away you go, you can always find your way home.
Black Cat—black from the tips of his ears to the tip of his tail—only ever goes out in the day. But White Cat—white from her whiskers to her four furry paws—only ever goes out at night. He picks daisies, while she gazes at the stars. When they both feel the urge to explore a world beyond their own, Black Cat and White Cat go on a journey of discovery and meet for the very first time. Vividly illustrated with bold black-and-white art, each page paves the way toward a surprise (and surprisingly colorful) ending.
When Oscar hears a blackbird singing in the meadow, Bat swoops in to talk to him about sound. A sudden thunderstorm and a visiting cow give Oscar lots of opportunities to learn about sounds that are loud or soft, near or far, deep or high.

Boo! It's Halloween! And that means it's time for Minnie's Annual Halloween Costume Contest! Who will win the prize for Best Costume?
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because it allows for such whimsical crafting and decorating. I like to dream up out-of-the-box color palettes for the holidays in my home decor and Halloween is so much fun to play with. I hope you enjoy this cute DIY as much as I did.
-Ghost cut-out. I got mine at Party City (2.99) Linked here.
-Yarn. Any and all. I recommend different textures as it gives your wall hanging more depth and variety. I purchased all of mine at Michael's.
-A ruler (this isn't a necessity) You'll see in my photos that my cut isn't perfect. I eye-balled it but if you are a stickler for precision, be my guest.
Cut your yarn to your desired length. What I love about this craft is that you can create it to fill a space in your home that you need filled. I was looking for something to go above Ever's kitchen and I decided why not make my own. So here we are. Cut as much as you think you'll need. Don't worry if it is not enough- you can go back and add more as needed. You can also use my photos for an approximate reference point.
Glue away. I used a glue gun but if you want to make it more of a kid friendly craft you can certainly try a different glue. I, for one, love any excuse to use my glue gun. It doesn't really matter if the strings of yarn are even where you are gluing because that part won't show! Just make sure you are gluing to the back side of the ghost. Pro Tip: glue one piece of yarn at a time or the glue will dry too fast.
Now you are ready to decorate your ghost. On the left is what the ghost looks like when you purchase it. Now, you can totally use the ghost the way it comes, but I decided to draw on my own face to keep it a little more simple. All I did was re-create the face part of it. Feel free to get creative and draw any kind of face you like- or even leave it blank. Another fun idea would be to spray paint it a fun color like gold metallic!
Please be sure and share with me on Instagram if you make one!
We have been reading to Everley since she was just a little peanut in my belly. Partly because "they" say it makes babies smart but mostly out of the pure excitement of becoming parents. For me the best part was how she responded to Kurt's voice within seconds of coming into the world.
So, we know and love our books. Ever has over one hundred and counting. I thought it would be fun to round out our top favorite dad books in honor of Father's Day!
I came up with a few options for themes for my girl’s first birthday party and had a hard time deciding but this theme always had my heart! I wanted to really play on blushes and peaches and a pop of sunny yellow. Somewhere along the line I threw in some lilac which if anyone knows me is kind of out of the norm. But I’m so glad I did! I wanted to do a more whimsical version of this theme than anyone would expect. So I had fun with suns and stars and ditched the galaxies and planets.

Last month, tens of thousands of Floridians in Hurricane Irma’s path were told to evacuate their homes to assure the safety of their families. When they returned after the storm, widespread power outages throughout the state presented a looming danger in the form of carbon monoxide poisoning as many residents relied on generators as their only source of electricity.
People and animals in these spaces can be poisoned and even die from exposure to the poisonous gas. Everyone is at risk for carbon monoxide poisoning but infants, the elderly, and people with continuous heart disease, anemia, or breathing problems are more likely to become diseased from carbon monoxide exposure.
Each year, more than 400 Americans die from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning not linked to fires, more than 20,000 visit the emergency room, and more than 4,000 are hospitalized. Because initial symptoms often depict the flu and can be as ordinary as fatigue, nausea, dizziness and headaches, carbon monoxide poisoning is often labeled as the silent killer.
As apparent in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, it is not always obvious where probable origins of carbon monoxide poisoning can be. In fact, the number of cases of carbon monoxide poisoning usually grows in the cooler months ahead as many homeowners turn on their furnaces to keep their families warm and comfortable for the season.
Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning suggests updating your carbon monoxide detectors every five years and checking your carbon monoxide and fire detectors each month to verify the batteries and alarm are functioning properly.

Both geometrical (cis-, trans-) isomers for can exist. Also, optical isomers for cis-isomer exist.
(ii) Two optical isomers for exist.
Give evidence that [Co(NH3)5Cl]SO4 and [Co(NH3)5SO4]Cl are ionization isomers.
planar structure is diamagnetic and the [NiCl4]2− ion with tetrahedral geometry is paramagnetic.
There are 4 CN− ions. Thus, it can either have a tetrahedral geometry or square planar geometry. Since CN− ion is a strong field ligand, it causes the pairing of unpaired 3d electrons.
In case of [NiCl4]2−, Cl− ion is a weak field ligand. Therefore, it does not lead to the pairing of unpaired 3d electrons. Therefore, it undergoes sp3 hybridization.
[NiCl4]2− is paramagnetic while [Ni(CO)4] is diamagnetic though both are tetrahedral. Why?
Though both [NiCl4]2− and [Ni(CO)4] are tetrahedral, their magnetic characters are different. This is due to a difference in the nature of ligands. Cl− is a weak field ligand and it does not cause the pairing of unpaired 3d electrons. Hence, [NiCl4]2− is paramagnetic.
[Fe(H2O)6]3+ is strongly paramagnetic whereas [Fe(CN)6]3− is weakly paramagnetic. Explain.
In both and , Fe exists in the +3 oxidation state i.e., in d5 configuration.
Since CN− is a strong field ligand, it causes the pairing of unpaired electrons. Therefore, there is only one unpaired electron left in the d-orbital.
Thus, it is evident that is strongly paramagnetic, while is weakly paramagnetic.
Explain [Co(NH3)6]3+ is an inner orbital complex whereas [Ni(NH3)6]2+ is an outer orbital complex.
Predict the number of unpaired electrons in the square planar [Pt(CN)4]2− ion.
The hexaquo manganese(II) ion contains five unpaired electrons, while the hexacyanoion contains only one unpaired electron. Explain using Crystal Field Theory.
The crystal field is octahedral. Water is a weak field ligand. Therefore, the arrangement of the electrons in is t2g3eg2. The crystal field is octahedral. Cyanide is a strong field ligand. Therefore, the arrangement of the electrons in isT2g5eg0.
Calculate the overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant for the Cu(NH3)42+ ion, given that β4 for this complex is 2.1 × 1013.
The overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant is the reciprocal of the overall stability constant, β4.
Explain the bonding in coordination compounds in terms of Werner’s postulates.
FeSO4 solution mixed with (NH4)2SO4 solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives the test of Fe2+ ion but CuSO4 solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4 molar ratio does not give the test of Cu2+ ion. Explain why?
Both the compounds i.e., and fall under the category of addition compounds with only one major difference i.e., the former is an example of a double salt, while the latter is a coordination compound.
A double salt is an addition compound that is stable in the solid state but that which breaks up into its constituent ions in the dissolved state. These compounds exhibit individual properties of their constituents. For e.g. breaks into Fe2+, NH4+, and SO42− ions. Hence, it gives a positive test for Fe2+ ions.
Explain with two examples each of the following: coordination entity, ligand, coordination number, coordination polyhedron, homoleptic and heteroleptic.
The neutral molecules or negatively charged ions that surround the metal atom in a coordination entity or a coordinal complex are known as ligands. For example, , Cl−, −OH. Ligands are usually polar in nature and possess at least one unshared pair of valence electrons.
What is meant by unidentate, didentate and ambidentate ligands? Give two examples for each.
(a) Unidentate ligands: Ligands with only one donor sites are called unidentate ligands. For e.g., , Cl− etc.
The charge on the complex is −2.
List various types of isomerism possible for coordination compounds, giving an example of each.
How many geometrical isomers are possible in the following coordination entities?
(i) For [Cr(C2O4)3]3−, no geometric isomer is possible as it is a bidentate ligand.
Optical isomerism Since only cis isomer is optically active, it shows optical isomerism.
In total, three isomers are possible.
Write all the geometrical isomers of [Pt(NH3)(Br)(Cl)(py)] and how many of these will exhibit optical isomers?
In both these cases, the weak field ligand water is replaced by the F− and Cl− ions.
What is the coordination entity formed when excess of aqueous KCN is added to an aqueous solution of copper sulphate? Why is it that no precipitate of copper sulphide is obtained when H2S(g) is passed through this solution?
Thus, the coordination entity formed in the process is K2[Cu(CN)4]. is a very stable complex, which does not ionize to give Cu2+ ions when added to water. Hence, Cu2+ ions are not precipitated when H2S(g) is passed through the solution.
As CN− is a strong field ligand, it causes the pairing of the unpaired 3d electrons.
6 electron pairs from CN− ions occupy the six hybrid d2sp3orbitals.
There are 6 F− ions. Thus, it will undergo d2sp3 or sp3d2 hybridization. As F− is a weak field ligand, it does not cause the pairing of the electrons in the 3d orbital. Hence, the most feasible hybridization is sp3d2.
Hence, the geometry of the complex is octahedral and paramagnetic.
Draw figure to show the splitting of d orbitals in an octahedral crystal field.
The splitting of the d orbitals in an octahedral field takes palce in such a way that , experience a rise in energy and form the eg level, while dxy, dyzand dzx experience a fall in energy and form the t2g level.
What is spectrochemical series? Explain the difference between a weak field ligand and a strong field ligand.
What is crystal field splitting energy? How does the magnitude of Δo decide the actual configuration of d-orbitals in a coordination entity?
[Cr(NH3)6]3+ is paramagnetic while [Ni(CN)4]2− is diamagnetic. Explain why?
In [Ni(CN)4]2−, Ni exists in the +2 oxidation state i.e., d8 configuration.
CN− is a strong field ligand. It causes the pairing of the 3d orbital electrons. Then, Ni2+ undergoes dsp2 hybridization.
A solution of [Ni(H2O)6]2+ is green but a solution of [Ni(CN)4]2− is colourless. Explain.
In [Ni(H2O)6]2+, is a weak field ligand. Therefore, there are unpaired electrons in Ni2+. In this complex, the d electrons from the lower energy level can be excited to the higher energy level i.e., the possibility of d−d transition is present. Hence, Ni(H2O)6]2+ is coloured.
In [Ni(CN)4]2−, the electrons are all paired as CN– is a strong field ligand. Therefore, d-d transition is not possible in [Ni(CN)4]2−. Hence, it is colourless.
[Fe(CN)6]4− and [Fe(H2O)6]2+ are of different colours in dilute solutions. Why?
The colour of a particular coordination compound depends on the magnitude of the crystal-field splitting energy, Δ. This CFSE in turn depends on the nature of the ligand. In case of [Fe(CN)6]4− and [Fe(H2O)6]2+, the colour differs because there is a difference in the CFSE. Now, CN− is a strong field ligand having a higher CFSE value as compared to the CFSE value of water. This means that the absorption of energy for the intra d-d transition also differs. Hence, the transmitted colour also differs.
Discuss the nature of bonding in metal carbonyls.
The metal-carbon bonds in metal carbonyls have both σ and π characters. A σ bond is formed when the carbonyl carbon donates a lone pair of electrons to the vacant orbital of the metal. A π bond is formed by the donation of a pair of electrons from the filled metal d orbital into the vacant anti-bonding π* orbital (also known as back bonding of the carbonyl group). The σ bond strengthens the π bond and vice-versa. Thus, a synergic effect is created due to this metal-ligand bonding. This synergic effect strengthens the bond between CO and the metal.
The d orbital occupation for Co3+ is t2g6eg0.
What is meant by stability of a coordination compound in solution? State the factors which govern stability of complexes.
What is meant by the chelate effect? Give an example.
How many ions are produced from the complex Co(NH3)6Cl2 in solution?
Thus, [Co(NH3)6]+ along with two Cl− ions are produced.
Amongst the following ions which one has the highest magnetic moment value?
Therefore, the complex can be written as K+[Co(CO)4]−. Therefore, the oxidation number of Co in the given complex is −1. Hence, option (iii) is correct.
We know that the stability of a complex increases by chelation. Therefore, the most stable complex is [Fe(C2O4)3]3−.

both geometrical (cis-, trans-) isomers for can exist. also, optical isomers for cis-isomer exist.
(ii) two optical isomers for exist.
give evidence that [co(nh3)5cl]so4 and [co(nh3)5so4]cl are ionization isomers.
planar structure is diamagnetic and the [nicl4]2− ion with tetrahedral geometry is paramagnetic.

in case of [nicl4]2−, cl− ion is a weak field ligand. therefore, it does not lead to the pairing of unpaired 3d electrons. therefore, it undergoes sp3 hybridization.
[nicl4]2− is paramagnetic while [ni(co)4] is diamagnetic though both are tetrahedral. why?
though both [nicl4]2− and [ni(co)4] are tetrahedral, their magnetic characters are different. this is due to a difference in the nature of ligands. cl− is a weak field ligand and it does not cause the pairing of unpaired 3d electrons. hence, [nicl4]2− is paramagnetic.
[fe(h2o)6]3+ is strongly paramagnetic whereas [fe(cn)6]3− is weakly paramagnetic. explain.
in both and , fe exists in the +3 oxidation state i.e., in d5 configuration.

explain [co(nh3)6]3+ is an inner orbital complex whereas [ni(nh3)6]2+ is an outer orbital complex.
predict the number of unpaired electrons in the square planar [pt(cn)4]2− ion.
the hexaquo manganese(ii) ion contains five unpaired electrons, while the hexacyanoion contains only one unpaired electron. explain using crystal field theory.
the crystal field is octahedral. water is a weak field ligand. therefore, the arrangement of the electrons in is t2g3eg2. the crystal field is octahedral. cyanide is a strong field ligand. therefore, the arrangement of the electrons in ist2g5eg0.
calculate the overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant for the cu(nh3)42+ ion, given that β4 for this complex is 2.1 × 1013.

feso4 solution mixed with (nh4)2so4 solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives the test of fe2+ ion but cuso4 solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4 molar ratio does not give the test of cu2+ ion. explain why?
both the compounds i.e., and fall under the category of addition compounds with only one major difference i.e., the former is an example of a double salt, while the latter is a coordination compound.

what is the coordination entity formed when excess of aqueous kcn is added to an aqueous solution of copper sulphate? why is it that no precipitate of copper sulphide is obtained when h2s(g) is passed through this solution?
thus, the coordination entity formed in the process is k2[cu(cn)4]. is a very stable complex, which does not ionize to give cu2+ ions when added to water. hence, cu2+ ions are not precipitated when h2s(g) is passed through the solution.

6 electron pairs from cn− ions occupy the six hybrid d2sp3orbitals.
there are 6 f− ions. thus, it will undergo d2sp3 or sp3d2 hybridization. as f− is a weak field ligand, it does not cause the pairing of the electrons in the 3d orbital. hence, the most feasible hybridization is sp3d2.
hence, the geometry of the complex is octahedral and paramagnetic.

in [ni(cn)4]2−, ni exists in the +2 oxidation state i.e., d8 configuration.
cn− is a strong field ligand. it causes the pairing of the 3d orbital electrons. then, ni2+ undergoes dsp2 hybridization.
a solution of [ni(h2o)6]2+ is green but a solution of [ni(cn)4]2− is colourless. explain.
in [ni(h2o)6]2+, is a weak field ligand. therefore, there are unpaired electrons in ni2+. in this complex, the d electrons from the lower energy level can be excited to the higher energy level i.e., the possibility of d−d transition is present. hence, ni(h2o)6]2+ is coloured.
in [ni(cn)4]2−, the electrons are all paired as cn– is a strong field ligand. therefore, d-d transition is not possible in [ni(cn)4]2−. hence, it is colourless.
[fe(cn)6]4− and [fe(h2o)6]2+ are of different colours in dilute solutions. why?
the colour of a particular coordination compound depends on the magnitude of the crystal-field splitting energy, δ. this cfse in turn depends on the nature of the ligand. in case of [fe(cn)6]4− and [fe(h2o)6]2+, the colour differs because there is a difference in the cfse. now, cn− is a strong field ligand having a higher cfse value as compared to the cfse value of water. this means that the absorption of energy for the intra d-d transition also differs. hence, the transmitted colour also differs.

amongst the following ions which one has the highest magnetic moment value?
therefore, the complex can be written as k+[co(co)4]−. therefore, the oxidation number of co in the given complex is −1. hence, option (iii) is correct.
we know that the stability of a complex increases by chelation. therefore, the most stable complex is [fe(c2o4)3]3−.
