the coordination number of the following complex; [Cu(NH3)4] [NiCl4]
Tetraamminecopper(II), [Cu(NH3)4] has a coordination number of 4.
[NiCl4] has a coordination number of 4.
In this case, in order to get the coordination number all that you need to do is to determine the number of ligands attached to the central metal ion.
In [Cu(NH3)4], there are four ammine ligands attached to the central copper ion and that is the same case for [NiCl4] complex which also has four ligands attached to the central metal ion.
