What is effective atomic number ? Calculate effective atomic number of copper (Z = 29) in [C(NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+) |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Effective atomic number : It is total number of electrons around the central METAL ion present in a complex and calculated as the sum of the electrons on the metal ion and the number of electrons donated by the ligands. `EAN=Z-X+Y` where, `""`Z = Atomic number of the metal X = Number of electrons of the metal ion from its atom Y = Number of electrons donated by the ligands `[CU(NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+)` Z = atomic number 29 X= 2 Y = 8 `EAN = Z-X+Y` `=29-2+8=35` EAN of copper is 35. |
