Why can copper have both four and six bonds?

$\ce{Copper(II)}$ complexes are $\ce{d^9}$ type complexes. This means that there are 9 d-electrons for the metal centre. When a complex forms, a number of ligands coordinate to the metal centre and th …

Thermal stability of interhalogen compounds

More electronegativity difference generally gives you stronger bonds, therefore higher thermal stability (i.e. you need to put in more energy to break them). Also, there are 2 lone pairs on the centr …
