Which Werner complex have maximum chloride ions which are not act as ligand.

Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

According to Werner theory, chloride ions outside the coordination sphere are not ligands (ionizable chloride).

More chloride ions outside the bracket means more chloride ions are not acting as ligands.

PtCl₄⋅6NH₃ forms:

[Pt(NH₃)₆]Cl₄

Here, 4 chloride ions are outside the coordination sphere and do not act as ligands.

Other complexes have fewer ionizable Cl⁻ ions.

Answer: (C) PtCl₄⋅6NH₃
