Coordination Compounds
Coordination compounds:
These are the complex compounds in which transition metal atoms are bound to a number of anions or neutral molecules.
Postulates of Werner’s theory of coordination compounds:
-
In coordination compounds, there are two types of linkages (valences) – primary and secondary.
-
The primary valences are ionisable and are satisfied by negative ions.
-
The secondary valences are non-ionisable and are satisfied by negative ions or neutral molecules. The secondary valence is equal to the coordination number of a metal and remains fixed for a metal.
-
Different coordination numbers have character…
