How many ions obtain after dissociation of this complex [ Co ( NH ₃ )₆ ] Cl ₃ ?
Options
- A3
- B2
- C5
- D4
Correct answer
D. 4
Step-by-step solution
Primary valency of coordination compounds are ionisable. Thus, dissociation of the complex, [ Co ( NH ₃ )₆ ] Cl ₃ takes place as follows [ Co ( NH ₃ )₆ ] Cl ₃ [ Co ( NH ₃ )₆ ]²⁺+3 Cl ⁻ Therefore, total number of ions obtain will be 4 .
