Question

Consider the coordination complex with the formula [CoBr(NH3)5]SO4.

  1. Identify the Lewis acid(s) and Lewis base(s) in the complex and explain how you made your choice(s).
  2. What is the coordination number for the transition metal cation in this complex? Explain how you know.
Expert Solution
Step 1

1- cordination compounds are define a Lewis acid and Lewis base..

Lewis acid -electron accept but not donate of protons. Exa-HCl

Lewis base -the compound of presence of negative or lone pair present a molecule of electron donor that's a Lewis base. Exa-H2o.

2- coordination number -coordination number of difine a number of atoms are attached a ione and metal atom central atom. 

Bonded of central metal atom of sigma bonds that's a coordination number.
