  2. They exhibit isomerism
  3. They are always neutral
  4. They contain only anionic ligands

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of Werner complexes?
  • Step 1: Understand what Werner complexes are. They are coordination compounds where a central metal atom is surrounded by ligands.
  • Step 2: Learn about isomerism. Isomerism is when two or more compounds have the same formula but different arrangements of atoms.
  • Step 3: Realize that in Werner complexes, ligands can be arranged in different ways around the central metal atom.
  • Step 4: Recognize that these different arrangements of ligands lead to different structures, which is what we call isomerism.
