Under Werner's bookkeeping, neutral ligands satisfy only secondary valency; coordinated anions contribute to both primary and secondary valency. Which statements are correct?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, D
Solution:

The distinction concerns charge satisfaction versus directional donor bonding. NH₃ is neutral; coordinated halides are charged donors. An outer-sphere nitrate is not a donor to Cr and does not contribute to coordination number.
