This lecture covers the 18 Valence Electron rule for determining the stability of transition metal complexes. It explains the common ligands and the number of electrons they contribute, as well as the oxidation states of metal compounds. The lecture also discusses how to count a compound's valence electrons and the reasons behind the 18 VE rule.
