Answer:
Most atoms do not have eight electrons in their valence electron shell. Some atoms have only a few electrons in their outer shell, while some atoms lack only one or two electrons to have an octet. In cases where an atom has three or fewer valence electrons, the atom may lose those valence electrons quite easily until what remains is a lower shell that contains an octet. Atoms that lose electrons acquire a positive charge as a result because they are left with fewer negatively charged electrons to balance the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. Positively charged ions are called cations. Most metals become cations when they make ionic
1.75 moles ChCl3 x (6.02 x 10 ^-23) / 1 mole = 1.0535 x 10^-22 atoms.
hope this was helpful :)
so you can see those fluorine atoms have really spread out around the central phosphorus atom. this gives us a trigonal bi-pyramidal molecular geometry for pf5.

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
=
