Questions and Answers

What is a coordination complex?

  • A compound consisting of only metallic ions
  • A chemical compound with a central metallic atom surrounded by bound molecules or ions (correct)
  • A chemical compound with a central non-metallic atom surrounded by bound molecules or ions
  • A compound consisting of only non-metallic ions

    • What is the atom within a ligand that is bonded to the central metal atom or ion called?

  • Acceptor atom
  • Central atom
  • Bonding atom
  • Donor atom (correct)

    • What is a polydentate ligand?

  • A molecule or ion that bonds to the central atom through several of the ligand's atoms (correct)
  • A molecule or ion that bonds to the central atom through only one of the ligand's atoms
  • A ligand with no bonds to the central atom
