17.25—Understand, in terms of the positive increase in ∆Ssystem, that the substitution of a monodentate ligand by a bidentate or

Understand, in terms of the positive increase in ∆Ssystem, that the substitution of a monodentate ligand by a bidentate or hexadentate ligand leads to a more stable complex ion.

Use —understand, in terms of the positive increase in ∆ssystem, that the substitution of a monodentate ligand by a bidentate or to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because —understand, in terms of the positive increase in ∆ssystem, that the substitution of a monodentate ligand by a bidentate or determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply —understand, in terms of the positive increase in ∆ssystem, that the substitution of a monodentate ligand by a bidentate or to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: —Understand, in terms of the positive increase in ∆Ssystem, that the substitution of a monodentate ligand by a bidentate or is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
