Question

How to calculate lone pair in coordination compounds?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sum of no. of electrons of all the existing elements in that particular compound. Now divide it by 2 (if sum is less than 8or equals to 8 )but by 8 if greater than 8 . Then the quotient gives the lone pairs while remainder gives the total no.
