NEETChemistryCoordination Compounds
What characteristic feature describes the spatial arrangement of ions/groups bound by secondary linkages in coordination compounds?
Options
- AIt varies randomly
- BIt depends on the nature of the metal
- CIt corresponds to different coordination numbers
- DIt is always linear
Correct answer
C. It corresponds to different coordination numbers
Step-by-step solution
According to Werner's theory, the characteristic spatial arrangement of ions/groups bound by secondary linkages corresponds to different coordination numbers.
