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...

Ramachandramouli Budida

DMSO is added at the end of the reaction to dissolve the formazan crystals formed from the reaction. Otherwise, you can not properly measure the color density of the reaction.

Vilma Petrikaite

DMSO is added only after incubation with MTT dye, after you remove the medium from cells, in order to dissolve formazan crystals.
