What determines the spatial arrangement of ions/groups bound by secondary linkages?

Options

  1. AIt is fixed for all coordination compounds
  2. BIt depends on the nature of the ligands
  3. CIt corresponds to different coordination numbers
  4. DIt is always linear

Correct answer

C. It corresponds to different coordination numbers

Step-by-step solution
