Concept introduction:
A compound that consists of a central metal ion or atom with a surrounding group of molecules or ions by covalent bonds is referred to as a coordination compound.
Coordination number is referred to as the number of atoms, molecules or ions that connects to the central atom or ion in a coordination complex.
Oxidation state is the degree of oxidation in a chemical compound referred to as the oxidation state.
The geometry of a molecule is determined through Valence-Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory. The theory states that the molecule will achieve a geometry that minimizes the repulsion between electrons in the valence shell of the atom.

- Four different octahedral chromium coordination compounds exist that all have the same oxidation state for chromium and have H2O and Cl as the ligands and counterions. When 1 mole of each of the four compounds is dissolved in water, how many moles of silver chloride will precipitate upon addition of excess AgNO3?arrow_forwardPlatinum(II) forms many complexes, among them those with the following ligands. Give the formula and charge of each complex.
