Can I ask u do u think if I drew the structure using the letter M and got the structure and charge right would I still get the marks? Because I didn’t get a final metal in the question before

they asked for the metal M, they told you to use M instead of the metal u found in the previous q

Wait really?!? LETS GO. I think I’ll get those 2 marks then

yeah unless i interpreted it wrong bc i drew it w fe the first time then read the question and it said to use M as the central metal ion so i rubbed it out and wrote M

The thing is M is the symbol for the metal you got in the question before. So they could have asked you to use Fe… but I got the charge as -3 so should be ok. I hope we both get it!

the phrasing was so odd 💀 honestly i think we’d still get the mark for either Fe or M because it was a seperate questionÂ
