In the complex ions \([Fe(C_2O_4)_3]^{3-}\). The coordination number of Fe is: |
6 3 4 2 |
6 |
The correct answer is 1. 6 The coordination number of a metal ion in a complex is the number of ligands bonded to it. In the complex ion \([Fe(C_2O_4)_3]^{3-}\), the central metal ion is iron (Fe), and it is surrounded by three oxalate (\(C_2O_4^{2-}\)) ligands. |
