1
New cards

What is meant by a complex

  • central metal atom/ion surrounded by ligands by coordinate bonds


2
New cards

What is a ligand

  • ion/molecule which forms coordinate bonds with transition metal atom/ion

  • has a lone pair of e- to donate


3
New cards

What is meant by coordination number

  • total number of coordinate bonds formed between central metal ion and its ligand


4
New cards

What is a monodentate ligand and examples

  • forms only 1 coordinate bond with the metal atom/ion (1 lone pair)

  • NH3, H2O,Cl-, OH-, SCN-


5
New cards

What is a bidentate ligand and examples

  • forms two coordinate bonds to the metal atom/ion

  • each lone pair is on different atoms and must be in certain orientations

  • C2O4²- (ethanedioate)

  • C2H4(NH2)2 (ethan-1-2-diamine/ En)


6
New cards

What is a multidentate ligand and examples

  • forms many coordinate bonds to the metal atom/ion
