Identify the ligands and central metal ion in [Co(NH_3)_2(en)_2]^(3+) ,Calculate the oxidation number and coordination number of metal ion. |
| Answer» Solution :In`[CO(NH_3)_2(en)_2]^(3+)`, ligands are ammonia and ethylene DIAMINE. OXIDATION number of COBALT = +3. Central metal ion is `Co^(3+)` and it is surrounded by two mondentate ligands `NH_3` and two bientate ligands ethylene diamine. THUS coordination number of `Co^(3+)` is 6. | |
