One type involves the production of electricity from the energy released during a spontaneous chemical reaction. Galvanic cells like Daniel cells are used to produce electricity from the redox reaction. Nernst equation of a galvanic cell gives the relation between the standard cell potential and the concentration of the species involved in the redox reaction. The second type of study involves the cells in which electrical energy is used to bring about the chemical reactions in a non-spontaneous process. The conductance of electrolytic solution depends on many factors including the nature of the electrolyte and the dimensions of the electrolytic cell.

The crystal field theory (CFT) is an electrostatic model which considers the metal-ligand bond to be ionic arising purely from electrostatic interactions between the metal ion and the ligand. Ligands are treated as point charges in case of anions or dipoles in case of neutral molecules. The five d orbitals in an isolated gaseous metal atom/ion have same energy, i.e., they are degenerate. This degeneracy is maintained if a spherically symmetrical field of negative charges surrounds the metal atom/ion. However, when this negative field is due to ligands (either anions or the negative ends of dipolar molecules like NH3 and H2O) in a complex, it becomes asymmetrical and the degeneracy of the dorbitals is lifted. It results in splitting of the d orbitals. The pattern of splitting depends upon the nature of the crystal field.

\(KMnO _4\) is prepared by the fusion of \(MnO _2\) with an alkali metal hydroxide and an oxidizing agent like \(KNO _3\) to give a dark-green manganate ion which disproportionate to give permanganate as follows.
\(\begin{array}{l}2 MnO _2+4 KOH + O _2 \rightarrow 2 K_2 MnO _4+2 H _2 O \\ 3 K_2 MnO _4+4 H ^{+} \rightarrow 2 KMnO _4+ MnO _2+2 H _2 O \end{array}\)
On heating \(K _2 MnO _4\) decomposes at 513 K to give \(K _2 MnO _4\). Permanganate ion is tetrahedral and diamagnetic
