What is optimal electron accelerating voltage for TEM measurments of polystyrene nanoplastic? (200-300kV - would be too high?) I found in literature most PSNP studies with ~100kV.

Jakub Jagielski

I would go with 80 kV - 120 kV.

Why doesn't chromium 2+ ion use all its d-orbitals to receive lone pairs from six waters in [Cr(H20)6)]3+?

I'm guessing it's because the ligand experiences too much electron repulsion or proton repulsion from the chromium to insert them close to the 3d-orbitals which are close to the metal nucleus. Is...
