Find the total number of N–Co–O bond angles (count each N and O pair once, including 90° and 180° angles) in one cation of [Co(en)₂(ox)]Cl, where en is ethane-1,2-diamine and ox is oxalate.
Answer:
8
Solution:
The cation has four N donors from two en and two O donors from oxalate. Each N–O pair defines one N–Co–O angle: 4 × 2 = 8. Of these, 6 are about 90° and 2 are 180°.
