Why is all iron in the body found in iron protein complexes?
Iron in the body is typically found in iron protein complexes because it helps regulate iron levels and prevent free iron from causing damage to cells through oxidative stress. These complexes also assist in transporting iron throughout the body and delivering it to cells where it is needed for various physiological processes.
What group or groups of metals in the periodic table often form coloured complexes?
Transition metals, located in Groups 3-12 of the periodic table, often form colored complexes due to their partially filled d orbitals, which can absorb light in the visible range. These metals can exhibit a wide range of colors in their complexes depending on the ligands they are bound to and the oxidation state they are in.
What are non inert complexes?
Non inert complexes are coordination complexes that exhibit reactivity with their ligands or the surrounding environment. These complexes can undergo ligand exchange reactions, isomerization, or redox processes due to their dynamic nature. Examples include labile complexes that readily exchange ligands and inert complexes that are stable and do not readily undergo reactions.
Does citric acidhave a reaction with iron?
Citric acid does not react with iron in a way that is harmful. However, citric acid may accelerate the corrosion of iron by forming iron citrate complexes, but this is typically a slow process and not a cause for concern in everyday use.
What are labile and inert complexes?
CFT splitting

What do heme and iron-sulfur complexes do in photosynthesis?
They reduce and oxidize in the electron transport chain
Which electron transport chain complexes would be impaired by an iron deficiency?
Complex I and II
What has the author Fan Lin written?
Fan Lin has written: 'Synthesis and characterisation of iron and vanadium complexes of biological relevance'
Why the complex of Zn2 plus is white colour?
The white color of Zn2+ complexes is attributed to the fact that Zn2+ lacks partially filled d orbitals for d-d electronic transitions that typically give rise to color in transition metal complexes. As a result, Zn2+ complexes do not absorb visible light in the range that produces color, leading to their white appearance.

What chelates iron oxide?
Organic acids such as citric acid, oxalic acid, and EDTA can chelate iron oxide by forming stable complexes with the iron ions, preventing them from forming insoluble iron oxide. This process is useful in industrial applications such as rust removal and wastewater treatment.
Give the name of outer orbital complexes?
There are two different types of outer orbital complexes. These two type of complexes are called low-spin or spin-paired complexes.

What is the plural form of complex?
Complexes is the plural of complex
What is the difference between gold ore and iron ore. Why can we see small pieces of yellow metal in gold ore but no iron metal in iron ore?
Gold ore contains gold metal, which is highly visible due to its distinctive yellow color. Iron ore, on the other hand, contains iron in the form of iron compounds such as hematite and magnetite, which do not exhibit the same visible metal characteristics as gold. The presence of visible gold in gold ore is due to its high density and purity compared to iron compounds found in iron ore.
What are some examples of high spin and low spin complexes in coordination chemistry?
In coordination chemistry, high spin complexes have unpaired electrons and low spin complexes have paired electrons. Examples of high spin complexes include octahedral complexes with weak ligands like water, while examples of low spin complexes include octahedral complexes with strong ligands like cyanide.
