What is the total number of ligands present in $\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_{2}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4}\right] \mathrm{Cl}$
  1. $2$
  2. $4$
  3. $1$
  4. $6$

Solution

$\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_{2}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4}\right] \mathrm{Cl}$ $\mathrm{Co}$ is linked to $4 \mathrm{~NH}_{3}$ molecules and $2 \mathrm{~Cl}^{-}$ions in coordination sphere. $\therefore$ Total number of ligands $=6$
