INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - 2 PART QUESTION
1. What is the formula of the highest oxide (either an oxocation, a neutral oxide or an oxoanion) of tungsten(VI)? Name it. What would you expect the pKb of this oxide to be? What shape would you expect this ion/molecule to have? Show your work.
2. If you reduced the species in question #2 from tungsten(VI) to tungsten (IV) but kept the same number of oxo groups, would you expect the geometry to change? Explain your answer with explicit calculations.
