Coordination Compound

Compounds having the same chemical formula but different physical and chemical properties due to the different structural arrangements are called isomers. This phenomenon is known…

The charge on the complex ion is equal to the sum of the charges on the metal ion and their ligands. Example [Cu(NH3)4]2+ can be…

A salt is formed by the neutralization of an acid by a base. There are different types of salts. They are:- Simple salt Molecular (or)…

In a complex compound, it usually, central metal ion and the ligands are enclosed within a square bracket is called a coordination sphere. This represents…

If a ligand is capable of forming more than one bond with the central metal atom (or) ion then the ring structures are produced which…

When a ligand is bound to a metal ion through a single donor atom, as with Cl–, H2O or NH3, the ligand is said to…

A ligand is an ion (or) a molecule capable of functioning as an electron donor. Therefore the neutral molecules or ions which are directly attached…

Oxidation state: This number denotes the charge, explaining the number of electrons it has lost to form the cation. It is oxidation number that denotes the…

Central Metal Ion: In the complex ion an acceptor accepts a pair of electrons from the donor atoms. The acceptor is usually a metal/metal ion…

Nature of coordination (or) complex compounds (i) An anionic complex compound contains a complex anion and simple cation. K4[Fe(CN)6] ↔ 4K+ (simple cation) + [Fe…
