MCQ
Which statement about coordination number of a cation is true?
  • A
    Most metal ions exhibit only a single characteristic coordination number
  • B
    The coordination number is equal to the number of ligands bonded to the metal atom
  • C
    The coordination number is determined solely by the tendency to surround the  metal atom with the same number of electrons as one of the rare gases
  • For most cations, the coordination number depends on the size, and charge of the cation

Answer

Correct option: D.
For most cations, the coordination number depends on the size, and charge of the cation
