Stability constant is more for the complex:A. (a) `[Ag(NH_3)_2]^(+)`B. (b) `[Cu(NH_3)_4]^(2+)`C. (c) `[Ag(CN)_2]^(-1)`D. (d) `[Co(NH_3)_6]^(3+)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Complex will be more stable if higher value of charge density is present.
`"Charge density" = "Charge"/ "Radius"`
For stability:
(i) More basic ligand, then complex will be more stable.
(ii) Higher the oxidation state of central atom and higher is its coordination number.
(iii) Higher the stability constant (K)
