Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following compounds is an example of a coordination compound?
  • Step 1: Understand what a coordination compound is. A coordination compound consists of a central metal atom or ion bonded to surrounding molecules or ions called ligands.
  • Step 2: Identify the central metal ion in the given compound. In Ag(NH3)2Cl, the central metal ion is silver (Ag).
  • Step 3: Identify the ligands in the compound. In Ag(NH3)2Cl, there are two ammonia (NH3) molecules acting as ligands and one chloride ion (Cl).
  • Step 4: Confirm that the compound has a central metal ion and ligands. Since Ag is the central metal ion and NH3 and Cl are the ligands, Ag(NH3)2Cl is indeed a coordination compound.
