Chemistry Questions

Hi, just needed a little help with the following questions -
Complete the electron configuration of Rh3+, by comparison with Co3+.
[Ru2OCl10] 4– has an oxygen atom connecting two Ru atoms.
Draw a three-dimensional diagram to suggest the shape of this ion. Give the co-ordination
number of Ru in your structure.
Give the formula of a ‘bulky organic monocation’ from the article and explain why three such
species are needed by [MCl6]3–.
Estimate how much faster [Ag(H2O)2]+ exchanges chloride ions compared with [Ru(H2O)6]3+.
