The primary and secondary valencies of chromium in the complex ion, dichlorodioxalatochromium (III), are respectively

  • 3, 4

  • 4, 3

  • 3, 6

  • 6, 3


C.

3, 6

The formula of dichlorodioxalatochromium (III) is [Cr(Cl2) (Ox)2]3-

Primary valencyof a metal (Cr) in the complex
                      = oxidation number of that metal
                      =+ 3
Secondary valency of chromium in complex
                      = coordination number
                      =+6

(Coordination number is the number of ligands attached to the central metal ion and oxalate ion is a bidentate ligand ie, can coordinate at two positions).
