  4. DCoordination polyhedron refers to the number of ligands directly bonded to the central metal ion in a coordina

Correct answer

A. The spatial arrangement of the ligand atoms which are directly attached to the central atom/ion defines a coor

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (A) The spatial arrangement of the ligand atoms which are directly attached to the central atom/ion defines a coordination polyhedron about the central atom. Examples include octahedral in [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ and tetrahedra; in [Ni(CO) 4 ].
