Which one of the following statements is incorrect?
In K3[Fe(CN)6] the ligand has satisfied only the secondary valency of ferric ion
In K3[Fe(CN)6],the ligand has satisfied both primary and secondary valancies of ferric ion
In K3[Fe(CN)6], the ligand has satisfied both primary and secondary valancies of ferrous ion
In [Cu(NH3)4]SO4 the ligand has satisfied only the secondary valency of copper
A.
In K3[Fe(CN)6] the ligand has satisfied only the secondary valency of ferric ion
Primary valency of metal is satisfied only by the anion. It is simply ionic valency. While secondary valency is satisfied by ligands (which can give a lone-pair of e-). The ligands satisfying secondary valency, are always written in co-ordination sphere. This concept was given by Werner.
In K3[Fe(CN)6] the CN- ions satisfy both the primary as well as secondary valency of Fe3+ ion.
The number of unidentate ligands in the complex ion is called
oxidation number
primary valency
coordination number
EAN
