Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.No
Coordination no is how much coordination bonds the central atom has made
Denticity is how many coordination bonds ligand can make
metal atom makes coordinate bonds?
Isn't that only when synergic bonding takes place?
no , coordination bond is formed when ligand donates electrons , syngeric bonding is when ligand donates electrons and also takes electrons in its vacant orbital
Can u give an example where denticity and coordination no. Are not equal
Many , take like uh [Co(en)3] here CN of Co is 6 and denticity of en is 2
Oh i see, actually I meant the total denticity of all the ligand molecules, not just one
Denticity of 3 en is equal to the coordination no. of metal
I forgot to say all the ligands
closing this out
