Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following compounds is 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 components of the given compound Cu(NH3)4SO4. Here, Cu is the central metal ion, NH3 are the ligands, and SO4 is a counter ion.
  • Step 3: Check if the compound has a central metal ion and ligands. In Cu(NH3)4SO4, Cu is the central metal ion and NH3 (ammonia) acts as the ligand.
  • Step 4: Conclude that since Cu is surrounded by ligands (NH3), Cu(NH3)4SO4 is indeed a coordination compound.
