Mettalic bonding involves a giant lattice of ions surrounded by a sea of electrons. A lot of energy is needed to overcome the strong bonds between these positive ions and negative electrons.

Ligands causes d orbitals to split. Electrons get excited to higher energy levels from ground state. Visible light is absorbed to promote electron to a higher energy leve...

Phenol has the -OH group and the oxygen has a lone pair of electrons which are donated into the Benzene ring and activate the ring which make it more sus...
