WJ Question 6

On the answer sheet, tell which scientist the conductivity evidence leads you to support--Werner, Jørgensen, or neither. Explain why.

Thank you for supporting my theory. Some of my structures do agree with the conductivity results, although I do not think that conductivity results are very reliable. I really think the isomer evidence should be a strong indicator that Werner is in error.

Thank you for supporting my theory. The conductivity values make it evident that I am correct. We also are working on synthesizing isomers which will help support my theory.

I can understand why you do not think the conductivity results adequately support each theory. I don't think they do either. Conductivities are just too unreliable to be used yet.

Click on one of the buttons. I for one, am unconvinced by the conductivity method. There are too many incorrect predictions by both theories to suit me.

Click on one of the buttons, whichever you think is deserving of your support.
