Ivy League universities have some of the largest university financial endowments in the world, which allows the universities to provide many resources for their academic programs and research endeavors.
Transition metal complexes have colour because the ligands bonding to the central metal atom or ion cause the d-orbitals to have different energies, that is, they are no longe â¦ r degenerate.In octahedral complexes, the dx2-y2 and the dz2 orbitals are higher in energy than the dxy, dxz and the dyz orbitals.ransition metal complexes have colour because the ligands bonding to the central metal atom or ion cause the d-orbitals to have different energies, that is, they are no longe â¦ r degenerate.
Copper turns green because of an oxidation reaction; that is, it loses electrons when exposed to water and air. The resulting copper oxide is a dull green. This oxidation reaction is the reason the copper-plated Statue of Liberty is green rather than orange-red. According to the Copper Development Association, a weathered layer of copper oxide only 0.005 inches (0.127 millimeters) thick coats Lady Liberty.
