Vedclass · Answer

(D) The coordination number of a central metal ion is the total number of sigma bonds formed by ligands with the metal atom. In $[Fe(C_{2}O_{4})_{3}]^{3-}$,the ligand is oxalate $(C_{2}O_{4}^{2-})$,which is a bidentate ligand. Therefore,the coordination number is $3 	imes 2 = 6$. In $[Co(SCN)_{4}]^{2-}$,the ligand is thiocyanate $(SCN^-)$,which is a monodentate ligand. Therefore,the coordination number is $4 	imes 1 = 4$. Thus,the coordination numbers are $6$ and $4$ respectively.

The coordination number of $Fe$ and $Co$ in the complex ions,$[Fe(C_{2}O_{4})_{3}]^{3-}$ and $[Co(SCN)_{4}]^{2-}$ are respectively
