Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the geometry of the complex ion [Ag(NH3)2]+? (2019) 2019
  • Step 1: Identify the central metal ion in the complex. In this case, it is silver (Ag).
  • Step 2: Identify the ligands attached to the central metal ion. Here, there are two ammonia (NH3) ligands.
  • Step 3: Determine the coordination number of the central metal ion. Silver (Ag) is coordinated by two ligands.
  • Step 4: Understand that the geometry of a complex ion depends on the number of ligands. With two ligands, the geometry is typically linear.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the complex ion [Ag(NH3)2]+ has a linear geometry.
