  1. June 2024 Paper 4, question 2(c): Tollens’ reagent can be used to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones. Tollens’ reagent contains [Ag(NH3)2]OH, which can be prepared in a two-step process.
  2. June 2024 Paper 4, question 2(d): Name the shape of the complex ion [Ag(NH3)2]+. State the bond angle for H-N-Ag and for N-Ag-N. shape bond angle for H-N-Ag = ° bond angle for N-Ag-N = ° [2]
  3. June 2024 Paper 4, question 2(f): Coordination polymers are made when a bidentate ligand acts as a bridge between different metal ions. Under certain conditions Ru3+(aq) and the bidentate ligand
  4. Specimen Paper 4, question 6(b)(i): NH3 acts as a monodentate ligand. State what is meant by monodentate ligand. [2]
  5. Specimen Paper 4, question 6(b)(ii): Aqueous silver ions, Ag+(aq), react with aqueous ammonia, NH3(aq), to form a linear complex. Suggest the formula of this complex, including its charge. [1]
