  4. D n
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4n

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{SCN}^{-}\)has two donor atoms nitrogen and sulfur either of which links to metal atom/ion when in forms a coordinate bond. Therefore, 1 mole of \(\mathrm{SCN}^{-}\)will have 2 moles of donor atoms.
Hence, \(2 \mathrm{n}\) moles of \(\mathrm{SCN}^{-}\)will have \(4 \mathrm{n}\) moles of donor atoms.
