asymmetric carbon atom adjacent to the CH2OH group is on the right hand side irrespective of the position of

the other hydroxyl groups. On the other hand, the molecule is assigned L configuration if the -OH group is
attached to the carbon adjacent to the CH2OH group is on the left hand side.

 Valence Bond Theory (VBT) According to this theory, the metal atom or ion under the influence of ligands can
use its (n-1)d, ns, np or ns, np, nd orbitals for hybridisation to yield a set of equivalent orbitals of definite
geometry such as octahedral, tetrahedral, square planar. the geometry of a complex is predicted from the
knowledge of its magnetic behaviour on the basis of the valence bond theory. The magnetic moment of
coordination compounds can be measured by magnetic susceptibility experiments. The results can be used to
obtain information about the number of unpaired electrons and hence structures adopted by metal complexes.
VB theory suffers from the shortcomings, It involves a number of assumptions, It does not give a quantitative
interpretation of magnetic data, It does not explain the colour exhibited by coordination compounds, It does not
give a quantitative interpretation of the thermodynamic or kinetic stabilities of coordination compounds.
