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.
