Question

EAN of the metal ion complex (cucl6)4-​

Answer 1

Answer:

Effective atomic number' (EAN):

It is the total number of electrons around the central metal ion present in a complex and calculated as the sum of the electrons on the metal ion and the number of electrons donated by the ligands. It can be calculated using the formula

EAN=Z−X+Y

Z= atomic number of the metal

X= number of electrons lost during the formation of the metal ion from its atom

Y= number of electrons donated by the ligands.
