In the given coordination complex 5 NH

3

molecule are directly attached to metal whereas only one one Cl is directly attached to metal and rest 2 are satisfying the oxidation state of metal and called as primary valency of the metal.Therefore it can be seen from the image and the formula of the complex which is [Co(NH

3 ) 5Cl]Cl

Answer 2

The number of dative bonds in the complex COCl3.5NH3​ is SIX (6).

- The term dative bond is used for coordination bonds.

- In CoCl3.5NH3, there is a primary valency of 2, i.e., 2 chloride ions can be disassociated.

- The no of secondary valency is 6, i.e., these bonds cannot be ionised.

- These are the coordination bonds in the given coordination complex.

- Hence, there are 6 dative bonds in CoCl3.5NH3.
