When a ligand is bound to a metal ion through a single donor atom, it is said to be a unidentate ligand but when it bind through two donor atoms, then it is said to be didentate ligand and when several donor atoms are present in a single ligand, it is said to be a polydentate ligand. When a dior polydentate ligand uses its two or more donor atoms simultaneously to bind a single metal ion, it is said to be a chelate ligand. The number of such ligating groups is called the denticity of the ligand. ligand which has two different donor atoms and either of the two ligetes in the complex is called ambidentate ligands. The number of ligand donor atoms to which the metal is directly bonded, is called coordination number of the metal ion in the complex. Complexes in which a metal is bound to only one kind of donor groups are known as homoleptic and in which a metal is bound to more than one kind of donor groups are known as heteroleptic complexes.
The coordination number of Co and Al in \(\left[ CoCl ( en )_2\right] Cl\) and \(K _2\left[ Al \left( C _2 O _4\right)_3\right]\), respectively, are
- A 3 and 3
- B 6 and 6
- C 3 and 6
- D 5 and 6
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 5 and 6
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Co in \(\left[ CoCl ( en )_2\right] Cl\): \(CN(Co) = 1 \times CN(Cl) + 2 \times CN(en)\) \(CN(Co) = 1 \times 1 + 2 \times 2 = 1 + 4 = 5\) Al in \(K _2\left[ Al \left( C _2 O _4\right)_3\right]\): \(CN(Al) = 3 \times CN(C _2 O _4)\) \(CN(Al) = 3 \times 2 = 6\)

The noble gases have closed shell electronic configuration and are monatomic gases under normal conditions. The low boiling points of lighter noble gases are due to the weak dispersion forces between the atoms and the absence of other inter atomic interaction. The direct reaction of xenon with fluorine leads to a series of compounds with oxidation numbers \(+2, +4\) and \(+6\).
\(\text{XeF}_4\) reacts violently with water to give \(\text{XeO}_3\). The compound of Xenon exhibit stereoisomerism and their geometries can be deduced considering the total number of electrons in the valence shell.

Ethers with the general formula \(C _n H _{2 n+2} O\) and functional group C-O-C may be divided as symmetrical and unsymmetrical.
Lower symmetrical ether may be obtained by the dehydration of alcohols at low temperatures in the presence of protic acids,
such as \(H _2 SO _4\) and \(H _3 PO _4\) whereas at high temperature intramolecular dehydration takes place.
Formation of ether from primary alcohols is also accompanied by the formation of small amount of alkenes.
Due to the steric hinderance, secondary and tertiary alcohols undergo elimination reaction rather than substitution reaction yielding alkene as major product. Ethers can also be obtained by heating alkyl halides with sodium or potassium alkoxides.
Substituted Ethers (secondary & tertiary) can also be prepared using this method.
If primary halides are replaced with secondary and tertiary halides, alkenes are the major products. The compound with the lowest boiling point isCUET 2025 Hard
