For each of the following compounds or ions: 1) draw the structure and give the point group; 2) indicate the appropriate bonding theory to predict if the compound or ion will be stable or not, briefly explaining your prediction (hint: quantitative predictions are the best); 3) if the compound or ion is paramagnetic, predict the spin-only magnetic moment in units of Bohr-Magnetons; 4) determine if the compound or ion will be Jahn-Teller active and, if so, predict the nature of the distortion.
