    Study Notes

    Coordination Complexes

    • In a coordination complex, the central atom or ion is the atom or ion bonded to several donor atoms, typically a metal ion.

    Ligands

    • A polydentate ligand is a molecule or ion that bonds to the central atom through several of its atoms, forming multiple bonds with the central atom.
    • A polydentate ligand can form multiple bonds, typically more than one, with the central atom.

    Central Atom and Ligand

    • The atom within a ligand that is bonded to the central metal atom or ion is called the donor atom.

    Types of Compounds

    • Coordination complexes are a type of inorganic compound, especially those that include transition metals.
