JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 5. Co-ordination chemistry
The maximum possible denticities of a ligand given below towards a common transition and inner -transition metal ion, respectively, are

- A \(6\) and \(8\)
- B \(8\) and \(6\)
- C \(8\) and \(8\)
- D \(6\) and \(6\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(6\) and \(8\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
General coordination number of \(CN^-\) in transition element is \(6\) and in inner transition element is \(8-12\). because inner transition metal ions can make available more number of vacant orbitals of nearly same energy than transition metal ions. The high effective nuclear…
