I am doing a theoretical study of Platinum and I don't understand why It can do 4 bonds, If your electron configuration is 5d86s1. I need to understand because of the paramethers of charge and spin multiplicity.

Hello Elder,
Platinum is one of the "especial" metals. The metals with configuration d10 in general are planar-square. This happening is explained for the crystal field theory, see the web for a short explanation.
I hope it help you and if you need more specific explication, feel free to contact me.

Dear Elder,
Why questions do not belong natural science. We only have good or less good descriptions. You got a good one from Joaquim.
