The maximum possible denticities of a ligand given below towards a common transition and inner -transition metal ion, respectively, are

  1. A \(6\) and \(8\)
  2. B \(8\) and \(6\)
  3. C \(8\) and \(8\)
  4. D \(6\) and \(6\)
Verified Solution

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…
