The coordination number of cobalt in tris(ethylendiamine) cobalt(III) ion, `[Co(en)_(3)]^(3+)` , isA. 3B. 6C. 9D. 5 |

Answer» Correct Answer - B The number of ligand donor atoms to which the central metal atom/ion is directly bonded in a complex enity is called the coordination number of the metal. In the complex ion, `[Co(en_(3))^(3+)]` , the coordination number (CN) of Co is 6 because en (ethane -1,2-diamine) is a bidenate ligand and hence provides two donor atoms. |
