Concept Introduction:
Transition metal complexes are the compounds in which a transition metal is bonded to some atoms or molecules known as ligands. Ligands donate electrons to vacant orbitals in metals to form bonds.
The number of electrons required to complete octet in
Total valence electrons of a metal in a complex is obtained by the following formula:
Total number of valence electrons of metal in complex =
