In Werner's theory the secondary valence of the central metal ion is identical with its

Aoxidation state
Batomic number
Cnumber of unpaired electrons
Dcoordination number

Answer: D

The secondary valence is the number of ligand donor atoms attached directly to the metal and is non-ionisable. This number is called the coordination number.

According to Werner's theory, the primary valence of a metal in a coordination compound corresponds to its NEET level
Excess aqueous AgNO3 is added to a solution of [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2. The number of moles of AgCl precipitated per mole of the complex is NEET level
The number of ions furnished per formula unit by K4[Fe(CN)6] in water (complete dissociation) is NEET level
Which of the following is non-conducting (a non-electrolyte) in aqueous solution? NEET level
The coordination number of cobalt in [Co(en)2Cl2]Cl is (en = ethane-1,2-diamine, a bidentate ligand) NEET level
The compound PtCl4.4NH3 (Pt coordination number 6) gives 2 mol of AgCl per mole with excess AgNO3. Its correct formulation is JEE Main level
