MCQ
The correct labeling of different terms used in coordination compounds is:
  • A
    $(i)$ Central atom$, (ii)$ Ionisation sphere$, (iii)$ Coordination number$, (iv)$ Ligands
  • B
    $(i)$ Ligands$, (ii)$ Coordination number$, (iii)$ Valency$, (iv)$ Ionisation sphere
  • C
    $(i)$ Ionisation sphere$, (ii)$ Ligands$, (iii)$ Coordination number$, (iv)$ Central atom
  • $(i)$ Ligands$, (ii)$ Ionisation sphere$, (iii)$ Coordination number$, (iv)$ Central atom

Answer

Correct option: D.
$(i)$ Ligands$, (ii)$ Ionisation sphere$, (iii)$ Coordination number$, (iv)$ Central atom
Ammonia is a ligand. It donates lone pair of electrons to Cobalt $($central metal atom$)$ and forms co$-$ordinate bond. Co$-$ordination number is $6$ as $6$ ammonia ligand coordinate to central metal.
$(ii)$ represents ionisation sphere$, \left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]$ has $+3$ charge.
