What is the number of moles of donor atoms in n mole of \(\mathrm{NO}_2^{-}\)?

  1. A \(3 \mathrm{n}\)
  2. B \(0\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{n}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{n}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \mathrm{n}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The ligand \(\mathrm{NO}_2^{-}\)links to metal ion through nitrogen or oxygen. Hence, there are two donor atoms per molecule and \(2 \mathrm{n}\) moles donor atoms per n mole.
