In order to concentrate galena (which contains ZnS as impurity) by froth-floatation process, sodium cyanide is used as depressant. NaCN dissolves ZnS due to the formation of the water soluble complex (A). Find the value of w+x+y+z. Where, w= coordination number of the central metal ion in the complex ion of (A). x= number of unpaired electrons in (A). y= total number of possible linkage isomers of (A) including (A). z= maximum number of atoms in a single plane in the complex ion of (A).
