Thus the effective atomic number of the cobalt atom in the complex [Co(NH3)6]3+ is 36, the sum of the number of electrons in the trivalent cobalt ion (24) and the numberof bonding electrons from six surrounding ammonia molecules, each of which contributes an electron pair (2 × 6 =12).

Explanation:
The total number of electrons present with a central metal atom or ion in a coordination complex plus the electrons donated by the ligands is known as Effective Atomic Number (EAN). The formula to calculate the EAN is as follows. The EAN of the given complex is \[{{[Cu{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}]}^{2+}}\] is as follows.
