- a)
Interpretation: The given complex ion
Concept Introduction:
Lewis acid: The species which accepts the lone pair of electrons.
Lewis base: The species which donates lone pair of electrons.
Donor atom: The neutral molecule or the negatively charged species which donates pair of electrons is known as Donor atom.
Coordinate covalent bonds: A covalent bond in which the Ligand donates both electrons to the metal ion to construct a bonding interaction known as coordinate covalent bond.
To Identify: The given complex ion
