What are the main postulates of Werner’s theory? Write the correct formula and IUPAC name of the coordination compound for CrCl3.6H2O, one mole of which give two moles of AgCl with AgNO3,.


The main postualtes of werner's theory:

1. In coordination compounds metals show two types of linkages (valences)-primary and secondary.

2. The primary valences are normally ionisable and are satisfied by negative ions.

3. The secondary valences are non ionisable. These are satisfied by neutral molecules or negative ions. The secondary valence is equal to the coordination number and is fixed for a metal.

4. The ions/groups bound by the secondary linkages to the metal have characteristic spatial arrangements corresponding to different
coordination numbers.

In modern formulations, such spatial arrangements are called coordination polyhedra. The species within the square bracket are coordination entities or complexes and the ions outside the square bracket are called counter ions.
The correct formula of CrCl3.6H2O is [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3 IUPAC name is hexaaquachromium(lll)chloride.
one mole of [CrCl3.H2O5] give two moles of AgCl with AgNO3.
