Concept introduction:
Coordination compounds: The compounds having coordination covalent bonds which form when metal ions react with polar molecules or anions.
Ligands: The ions or molecules that forms coordination covalent bond with metal ions in a coordination compound. Ligands should have minimum one lone pair of electron, where it donates two electrons to the metal. Metal atom accepts the electron pair from a ligand forming a coordination bond.
Oxidation number: The total number of electrons in an atom after losing or gaining electrons to make a bond with another atom. It indicates the charge of an ion.

- 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_forwardA certain coordination compound has the simplest formula PtN2H6Cl2. It has a molar mass of about 600 g/mol and contains both a complex cation and a complex anion. What is its structure?arrow_forwardFive-coordinate coordination complexes are known, including [CuCl5]3 and [Ni(CN)5]3. Write the structuralformulas and identify a plausible geometry for thesecomplexes.arrow_forward
