    Study Notes

    Coordination Compound Conductivity

    • The nature of the ligands plays a key role in determining the conductivity of a coordination compound.

    Ligand Classification

    • Ligands are classified based on the number of donor atoms they possess:
      • Monodentate ligands donate one electron pair to the central metal atom.
      • Bidentate ligands donate two electron pairs to the central metal atom.
      • Polydentate ligands donate more than two electron pairs to the central metal atom.

    Electrolyte Types

    • A coordination compound that produces three ions of both the complex and the counter ion is classified as a 3:3 electrolyte.

    Ligand Role

    • Ligands in coordination compounds act as electron pair donors, forming coordinate covalent bonds with the central metal atom.

    Polydentate Ligands

    • Polydentate ligands are ligands that can bind to a central metal atom through multiple donor atoms.

    Double Salts

    • Double salts do NOT contain a complex ion.

    Bidentate Ligands

    • Bidentate ligands must possess a minimum of two donor atoms to bind to the central metal atom.

    Primary Valence

    • The primary valence of a central metal ion in a coordination compound is determined by its oxidation state.

    Secondary Valence

    • The secondary valence of a metal ion in coordination compounds refers to the number of ligands attached to the central metal atom.

    Coordination Compound Dissociation

    • Coordination compounds dissociate in solution into their constituent ions, with the complex ion remaining as a single unit.

    Silver Nitrate Reaction

    • When silver nitrate is added to a coordination compound containing chloride ions, a white precipitate of silver chloride (AgCl) is formed.

    Primary Valence in K4[Fe(CN)6]

    • In the coordination compound K4[Fe(CN)6], the primary valence of the iron (Fe) is +2.

    Monodentate Ligands

    • Monodentate ligands are ligands that donate only one electron pair to the central metal atom.

    Coordination Number

    • The typical coordination number for many coordination compounds is 4 or 6.

    Bidentate Ligands

    • Bidentate ligands can donate two electron pairs to the central metal ion.
