Answer:
a). Coordination no. of = 6
b). Coordination no. of = 6
Explanation:
Coordination number is defined as number of donar atoms bonded to the central atom of the complex ion.
a). Coordination no. of = 6
en or ethylenediamine is a bidentate ligand.
In bidentate ligand, two atoms directly bonded to the central atom.
NH3 is a unidentate ligand.
So, coordination no.= No. of bidentate ligand x 2 + No. of unidentate ligand
=
b). Coordination no. of = 6
Ethylenediamine (en) is a bidentate ligand.
oxalate ion (ox) is also a bidentate ligand.
Cl is a unidentate ligand
So, coordination no.= No. of bidentate ligand x 2 + No. of unidentate ligand
=
