What is the EAN of metal ion in [ Cu(NH ₃)₄]²⁺ ?

Options

Correct answer

A. 35

Step-by-step solution

The effective atomic number (EAN) is calculated using the formula: EAN = Z - O.S. + 2 C.N. For the complex [ Cu(NH ₃)₄]²⁺ : Atomic number of copper ( Z ) = 29 Oxidation state of copper ( O.S. ) = +2 Coordination number ( C.N. ) = 4 Substituting the values: EAN = 29 - 2 + 2 4 EAN = 27 + 8 = 35 Answer: 35
