Question Explanation:

Calculation of π- bonds and coordinate bonds in complexes

Concept:

Coordinate Bonding and Ligand Structure

Solution:

Both complex A and B contain six CN^- ligands . In acyanids ion (C ≡ N) there are 2 π bonds. Each CN^- acts as a monodentate ligand, forming 1 coordinate bond with the iron center. We sum these for both molecules and divide as requested.

Total π- bonds = (6 × 2)_inA + (6 × 2)_inB total coordinate bonds =6_inA+6_inB =12

Result =24/12 = 2
