How to find coordinate number of atoms ?
Asked by gargimoitreyee | 05 May, 2018, 09:31: PM
Expert Answer
The maximum number of ligands which can be coodinated to a central metal atom or ion is known as coodination number of that central atom or ion.
Coordination Number is the number of ligand- donor atoms (atoms, ions, or molecules) bonded directly to the central atom (metal).
So, to find the coordination number we can just look for the number of ligands bonded to the metal.
Example:
In [Ni(NH3)4] 2+, Ni is linked to four NH3 molecules. Hence, its coordination number is 4.
In [PtCl6]2− , Pt is linked to six Cl atoms. Hence, its coordination number is 6.
