Given the molecular formula of the hexacoordinate complexes

A CoCl 3 ·6 NH 3 B CoCl 3 ·5 NH 3 C CoCl 3 ·4 NH 3

If the number of coordinated NH3molecules in A, B and C respectively are 6, 5 and 4, the primary valency in (A), (B) and (C) are -

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Co has six coordination number, hence formulae for compounds A,B and C should be
A Co NH 3 6 Cl 3
B Co NH 3 5 Cl Cl 2 NH 3
C Co NH 3 4 Cl 2 Cl NH 3 2
Primary valency is equal to the oxidation state of the central metal ion.
