Define coordination number.
Advertisements
Solution
Coordination number is the number of ligand donor atoms directly bonded to the central metal atom or ion in a complex.
Example: In [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ the coordination number of cobalt (Co) is 6 because 5 ammonia molecules and 1 chloride ion are attached to it.
