Answer:
The important postulates of Werner's theory are:
1 The central metal or the metal atoms in coordination compounds show two types of valency. ...
2 The primary valency relates to the oxidation state and the secondary valency relates to the coordinate number.
3 The number of secondary valences is fixed for every metal atom
4 The metal atom works towards satisfying both its primary and secondary valencies. A negative ion satisfies the primary valency. On the other hand, a negative ion or neutral molecules satisfy secondary valencies.
5 The secondary valencies point towards a fixed position in space. This is the reason behind the definite geometry of the coordinate
