What is the coordination number in[Nl(en)_(3)]Cl_(2) ? Explain it.

Answer»

Solution :In `[Ni(EN)_(3)]Cl_(2),` the coordination number of `Nl^(2+)` is also `6`. The ligand "en" represents ETHANE `-1,2-` DIAMINE`(H_(2)N-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-NH_(2))` and it contains two donor atoms (Nitrogen).
Each ligand forms two coordination bonds with nickel. So, totally there are six coordination bonds between them.
