Question

differention between secondary valancy and coordinate number

Answer 1

According to Werner's theory, metal ions have two types of valency-primary and secondary, where the primary valency is said to be satisfied by negative ions only, and the secondary valency can be satisfied by positive ligand, negative or neutral molecule.


The secondary valence is the number of ions of molecules that arecoordinated to the metal ion. Werner assumed that the secondary valence of the transition metal in these cobalt(III) complexes is six.
