Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the geometry of [Ag(NH3)2]+?
  • Step 1: Identify the complex ion, which is [Ag(NH3)2]+.
  • Step 2: Recognize that Ag (silver) is the central metal atom in this complex.
  • Step 3: Note that there are two NH3 (ammonia) ligands attached to the Ag atom.
  • Step 4: Understand that the coordination number of Ag in this case is 2, because there are two ligands.
  • Step 5: Recall that when a metal has a coordination number of 2, the geometry is typically linear.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the geometry of [Ag(NH3)2]+ is linear.
